Red Velvet Poke Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

box red velvet cake mix (I used Duncan Hines but you can probably double this cupcake recipe although I haven’t tested it)

sweetend condensed milk

one-and-a-half to two 14-ounce tubs whipped cream cheese frosting OR make scratch frosting using the ingredients below

brick-style cream cheese, softened (lite okay)

(half of 1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

about 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

vanilla extract

salt, or to taste

cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (I prefer mini but regular size may be substituted)
