Black Bottoms

I loved when Mom would make this dessert growing up.  This recipe makes a lot and they are so good.

Black Bottoms

Topping:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 large bag (12 oz.) mini-chocolate chips

Add chips after all the other ingredients have been creamed.

Batter:
3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 c. cooking oil
2 c. water

Mix in order, beat until smooth--put chocolate batter in petit four cups (usually have to find these in a store that carried candy-making supplies).  Add a tsp of the topping to each petit four cup.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 min.
