Somehow eating a Cadbury Creme Egg any time of the year besides Easter just doesn’t seem right. Call it excellent marketing on their part, but I crave this super sweet chocolate candy every spring. It’s like it’s not right to buy or eat them in, say, September. As a matter of fact, you CAN’T buy…

Light(er) Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cupcakes
Ok, so the recipe still calls for sugar but there is no oil or butter. Sally’s Baking Addiction substitutes banana (very ripe) and 0% plain Greek yoghurt to make a moist but lower fat cupcake. The peanut butter chips and chocolate chips are optional if you would like to reduce the sugar a bit more. Chocolate…
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.

Chocolate Whiskey Cupcakes
It’s been a while since I posted an alcoholic cupcake, or at least it seems that way. My grandfather used to take a shot of whiskey to cure a cold. Perhaps these cupcakes from Annie’s Eats could be sort of considered medicinal. Doesn’t that mean the calories don’t count? Or maybe we should just forget about…

Triple Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes
I am a huge fan of using coffee in chocolate cupcakes as it makes the cake a bit more moist and it takes away some of the sweetness. Not that I don’t love sweet things…there are just times when cake can be too sugary sweet. I Heart Kitchen took it to the next level by adding…
Neapolitan Cupcakes
Ah….Neapolitan ice cream – the best of all worlds with three flavors in almost every spoonful.
