Cream Cheese:  Mix all ingredients and blend well, set aside.

Brownies:  Mix all ingredients together until smooth.  Reserve 1/2 cup
of brownie batter for topping cream cheese mixture.  Fill cupcake cups

until the cupcake cup is 3/4 full.  Top with a scant teaspoon of
brownie batter.  Place in a preheated 350 degree oven between 20

This recipe yields about 1 dozen cupcakes.
