Does anyone have a recipe for Hawaiian Chicken from the McCall's Great American Card Collection? I lost it years ago and it was my family's favorite. I would love to make it for them again. Thanks.

Another lost recipe. I can't find Black Devils from the Great American Recipe Card Collection. I can't recall the card number or section but it is a favorite of my kids. It is basically chocolate cupcakes with a cream cheese filling. I've tried a few variations from memory, combining other recipes and online but they just are not the same. Thanks in advance!
