If you have someone special in your life, the most important day of the year for you is Valentine’s Day!  It is two short weeks away and I am here to provide something so much better than those boxes of waxy chocolates or predictable flowers you always buy.  These fab Cheesecake Chocolate Cupcakes are rich and decadent….even if you aren’t 🙂Cheesecake Chocolate Cupcakes - recipe for a delicious and moist chocolate cupcake topped with a layer of chocolate chip cheesecake

My hubby has it pretty easy when it comes to Valentine’s Day.  It also happens to be my birthday.  And no, I don’t make him buy me two separate presents.  After 23 years of marriage, I should just be glad continues to love me and puts up with my personality because I can be a real STINKER 🙂

For many years, my go-to Valentines dessert has been my rock-star Chocolate Melting Cake.  It is awfully sexy as far as desserts go.
Cheesecake Chocolate Cupcakes - recipe for a delicious and moist chocolate cupcake topped with a layer of chocolate chip cheesecake

This new recipe came via one of my closest friends who has been whipping up these amazing cupcakes for years.  I love that these babies are a massive step above your standard cupcake.  Anyone can top a cupcake with frosting….boring!  These sweet gems of love have CHEESECAKE as their frosting.  It doesn’t get much sexier than this.
