Ingredients
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box dark chocolate cake mix
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 8 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate

- Cut each cupcake in half horizontally. Spread about 2 tablespoons pumpkin mixture evenly over cut side of rounded cupcake halves. Top with cut side of flat cupcake halves.
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and cream. Microwave on High, in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is melted and cooled. Spoon desired amount of chocolate over flat side of each cupcake. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
