Birthday Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

1 box German chocolate cake mix (I prefer Duncan Hines) + ingredients on box
1- 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
dash salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Mix cake as directed. Fill paper cups 2/3 full. Cream the cheese with the sugar, egg, & salt. Stir in chocolate and butterscotch chips. Drop one rounded teaspoon full on top of each cupcake mixture. Bake 15-20 min. at 350F. Makes approximately 25 cupcakes.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 T. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add a small amount of milk as needed to achieve the consistency desired.
