Cream Cheese Frosted Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes






     Uhhh, pictures don't lie people...these Cream Cheese Frosted Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes are actually as good or better than they look!  Not to mention the fun factor of sinking your teeth into that fluffy cloud of yummy Cream Cheese whipped frosting!  Now that's a good day folks!  And, it gets even better when I tell you they are only 152 calories, 6g net carbs and 15.9g protein.  I served these to my family for Father's Day and everyone was happy with their healthy results with no complaints!  I hope to have these again and again, and not just for special occasions!  You simply have to try these sooner than later!  :)

Ingredients for 6 Cupcakes~
1 Tablespoon Chocolate Brownie Sweet Spreads, melted
1 Jumbo Egg
7oz 2% Fage Greek Yogurt, divided into 4oz and 3oz
