Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cupcakes


Mmmm one of my most favorite combinations is peanut butter and chocolate.  But - let's bet honest here... add a little salty goodness to that combo and BAM it's OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious!!

And that's what we have with my latest cupcake.  Pretzel crust, chocolate cupcake, peanut butter buttercream, chocolate ganache and chocolate covered pretzel.  Oh yeaaaaaah.

Strawberry Banana Orange Smoothie Cupcakes

My fellow CTTC Contributor Betsy, and I were part of a Cupcake Couture Blog Party that went live yesterday. We were sent fabulous cupcake wrappers from Bella Cupcake Couture and were asked to create a recipe based on the design we received.

I received these gorgeous Hannah wrappers decorated with a Pink and Citrus floral design. For some reason, these wrappers just brought me into a Summer state of mind which got fruit on my brain which made me think of smoothies. I wanted to see if I could get those same bright, fresh fruity flavors from a smoothie into our favorite portable dessert and it was actually a great success!

These are also semi-diet friendly and totally semi-homemade, but you wouldn't be able to tell that these cupcakes started from a box and a can of frosting. The recipe is super easy to follow and you can find it on my blog, Chronicles of a Foodie, here!

PS. Don't forget to enter the Cupcake Couture Blog Party giveaway if you haven't already!

Chex Mix Cupcakes

What do you get when you mix Chex Mix and cupcakes? The perfect sweet and salty dessert! Cupcake Project developed this recipe that you can use nearly any type of Chex Mix for! She does mention to keep things balanced, make sure you use a frosting close to your Chex Mix of choice to play up the flavors. You can even get the Chex Mix flavor in each cupcake by substituting the crushed snack mix for some of the flour in the recipe. Check out the recipe here!
