And…and…a surprise chocolate peanut butter center. I love surprises, don’t you? I have always put peanut butter on a banana. Always. Some people may find that odd, but it’s just the way that bananas are meant to be eaten. Sort of like how chocolate tastes better with peanut butter. Which leads us to an almost [...]
Remember the ice cream truck? Doesn’t that always remind of you of creamsicle ice cream? That orange-y sort of flavor with the creamy center, there’s just something about it. These cupcakes from popsugar have that same orange-y and cream flavor, topped with a sugar coated orange slice. Now this is a summertime cupcake! Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes [...]

This recipe is courtesy of Taste of Home. Carrot and Raisin [...]
This recipe is a new twist on an old favorite. Instead of traditional cream cheese frosting, evil shenanigans topped these cupcakes with a chocolate sour cream frosting. YUM! I am also happy to see more and more wedding cakes and cupcakes in a chocolate flavor. It’s all good. Chocolate Italian Wedding Cupcakes For the cake: 1/2 [...]

Now I have to admit that I usually don’t care for mixing fruit and chocolate. I like chocolate just fine without anything else…except maybe peanut butter, [...]
