These old-fashioned molasses cupcakes were my grandmother's specialty. To keep them from disappearing too quickly, she used to store the tempting goodies out of sight. Somehow, we always figured out her hiding places! -Beth Adams, Jacksonville, Florida

- In a medium size bowl combine 3 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, and 1 cup of flour.

- Continue until all the cups are made.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small sauce pan cook 1 Tsp of butter until lightly browned.

- Spoon the brown filling into each muffin cup about 1/2 to 3/4's full.
- Repeat until all cups are filled.
