"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 large egg
½ teaspoon peppermint extract (or to taste)
Red food coloring
1 cup white chocolate mini morsels
1 ½ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.

Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the egg and beat until smooth. Add the peppermint extract, then the red food coloring bit by bit until you get a nice, bright pink tinge. Go a little brighter than the final color you want as it will soften during cooking. Fold in the white chocolate morsels.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar, the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Stir together the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla in a measuring jug, then pour into the well. Stir just until the batter is mixed. Spoon the batter evenly between the 16 muffin cups, filling each half-full. Spoon a heaping Tablespoon of the cream cheese filling over the batter in the cups.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack.
