1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
2. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth with no lumps. Mix in the egg, salt and vanilla, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together.
4. Add the warm water, oil, vinegar and vanilla and stir until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the chocolate batter among the liners, filling each only ⅓ full.
6. Drop 1 rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese batter into the center of the chocolate batter in each liner.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 16 to 18 minutes.
8. Cool in the tin for 5 to 10 minutes, then move the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
