Choco-Cherry Cupcakes

This recipe is in honor of Token Fat Girl’s Healthy Thursdays!

It’s really old school, from when my Mom was a Weight Watchers leader in the 1980′s. I haven’t had time to make them yet, but I will for Saturday. (and there are 3 eggs in the bowl…you just can’t see the other one.)

They freeze well too. Just put them in the microwave!

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 can Light cherry pie filling

3 eggs

Mix all ingredients by hand until combined. (If you use a mixer, it breaks up all the cherries, and I don’t like that). Bake as indicated on cake box.
