Super Easy - Superbowl Food

I love peanut butter and chocolate... It's better than anything... Almost better than Bailey. So when I came across this recipe, I had to share it!

Easy Peanut Butter Cups

From Everyday Food
Ingredients
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped

Directions:

Line two 12-cup mini muffin pans with paper liners; set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and peanut butter. Microwave, until almost melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, place semisweet chocolate in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring once or twice, until almost melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Dividing evenly, use a spoon to layer semisweet chocolate and peanut-butter mixture into liners, beginning and ending with chocolate; sprinkle with peanuts.
Place muffin pans in freezer until peanut butter cups are firm, about 15 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Makes 24.

I don't know which one to choose!!!

If I had this in front of me, I couldn't settle on just one! I'd have to eat a bite of every single one because I really couldn't choose... They all look so amazing and there's just so many to choose from!! Here's the list (I think it's in order from top left): raspberry, cappucino, coconut, mint choc chip, coffee, maple pecan, red velvet, choc orange, chai gingerbread, butterfly, black and white, cookies and cream, rocky road, banana split, toffee, lemon meringue, strawberry, lemon kiss, banoffee, cocolime, choc fudge, pink vanilla, banana and blueberry.

Newbies!!

Oh how I LOVE LOVE new cupcake flavors. I think there's a chubby kid inside me that longs for news that my local cupcake place has created a new flavor. I'm bringing new meaning to "a kid in a candyshop" with my cupcake obsession. Moving right along... I've found two new cupcakes to please your palettes... One in my own backyard, Portland OR, and another far far away in Coral Gable, FL.







First, I present "The Malt Ball"

Here's the blurb from St. Cupcakes website:

"let’s hear it for the malt ball, our newest cupcake flavor! jami and rachel lovingly invented a malted chocolate buttercream to top our rich fudgy chocolate cake with malted milk balls baked right in. oh yeah. and then, as if THAT weren’t malty and bally enough, they crushed a ton more malted milk balls and landscaped the top with melt in your mouth boulders. come by and get yours today! or friday! malt ball is the latest addition to our wednesday & friday menus.
malt balls!
(and let’s give it up for lemon berry. thanks for all your sweet tartiness this summer. see you next year.)
ps! we dedicate our new balls to clay aiken. way to go, clay!"

And secondly, I present "Cafe Mocha"

Cupcakes Nouveau says:

"We’re happy to introduce a new cupcake flavor, Cafe Mocha. Cafe Mocha is a Vanilla Espresso cupcake with a Cafe Mocha Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting. Mmmmm…very yummy!"
