Banana Bread Cupcakes with a Surprise!
There’s a lot going on with these cupcakes from Dreamy Blog. So much going on that it wouldn’t all fit in the title. Banana bread cupcakes are pretty awesome to start with but add some chocolate peanut butter frosting AND a pretzel “crust” and it’s a party for your taste buds. Salty, sweet banana goodness…

Chocolate Chunk Blueberry Cupcakes
If a cupcake has fruit in it, can it be considered healthy? Fruit is good for you, right? And so is dark chocolate so I vote healthy. Then again, I may be biased. This recipe from Love Bug Blog has lots of blueberry flavor in the filling and the blueberry buttercream frosting. Think chocolate covered blueberries….

Snickers Coconut Caramel Cupcakes
I’m not even sure where to begin with these cupcakes from Half Baked Harvest. The rich chocolate cupcake? The milk chocolate ganache filling? The nougat filling? The caramel? The coconut? It’s hard to say what my favorite part is except the entire cupcake – every last bit of it from the caramel buttercream frosting right…
Brownie Cupcakes with Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting
Is there any flavor more refreshing than peppermint? These cupcakes from Damn Delicious would be perfect for summer, St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas. Or spring. Or just because.

Atomic Fireball Cupcakes
Do you like a Fireball candy? I have to admit I like the little bit of “heat” in those cinnamon hearts. You know, those little red hearts that seem to be around for Valentine’s Day. Well, why not tell your honey that he or she is a hunka hunka burnin’ love by making a cupcake…

Triple Chocolate Cupcakes
If chocolate cake is good – and it is! – then certainly chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and chocolate chips is three times as great! This is sort of an old family recipe that I made into cupcakes a couple of weeks ago. Way back in the dark ages of baking, the Bundt pan was…
