I read something today about the third Monday in January being the most depressing day of the year. Not exactly sure why that is – post holiday let down? Arrival of credit card bills from all the holiday shopping? It doesn’t really matter WHY, though, does it? All that matters is these little cupcake pies […]

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I think we need to take a break from the pumpkin spice craze and there is no better way to do that than with chocolate. Of course. The Butterfinger candy in the frosting is just an extra treat. How awesome is it that these cupcakes from Chocolate, Chocolate and More start with […]
Cupcake Heaven
I suppose “heaven” could be defined many ways depending upon what you like. Let the Baking Begin defines heaven as dark chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate ganache. That’s pretty accurate. There is a lot going on here – two layers of frosting and caramel filling – but oh my. This may be pretty close to cupcake […]

Reese’s Pieces Cupcakes
Ah….Reese’s Pieces are like a distant cousin to the far more popular M&M. They have been around a while, but never really seemed to catch on. That is all the more reason to have a cupcake just for these yummy peanut butter bits with a crunchy coating. I just have one question for Your Cup […]
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Cupcakes
I seem to be on a peanut butter kick lately, not exactly sure why. When I saw this recipe from Plating Pixels I might have started to drool a bit. Rich and creamy peanut butter cheesecake on top of an Oreo cookie crust topped with chocolate ganache. All of my favorite things in one small […]
