    Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

    Dark Chocolate Cupcake with Crunchy Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Drizzle

    dark chocolate cupcakes with crunchy peanut butter frosting and chocolate drizzle
    These are dark chocolate babycakes with crunchy peanut butter frosting and chocolate drizzle. They are - I can't feign modesty here - they are awesome. Unfortunately, they don't quite match with the already planned strawberries and cream that are perfectly pink for the little princess to be. *sigh* I'll have to save this Reese's combination for a bake sale or Halloween party or something I guess. We're going to lose the peanut butter and re-accessorize with fluffy, prissy, white chocolate frosting. We all know how I feel about fluffy prissy pristine gag white and if you didn't, now you do.

    Oh, alright, it's still frosting.

    Baby shower cupcake practice also happened to coincide with Sugar High Friday. The cupcakes are a little late for the no. 13 Dark Chocolate edition, but this is LA, so I don’t know how to be anything but fashionably late. ;)

    Next month, next baby, better planning, I swear. And maybe a short lesson on the extension of the Special Dark Effect that I call...the Fritos Phenomenon. I bet you can't figure out what that's all about.

      oh just the title and the picture drew me into your article.. they look like true delights!
      A friend of mine just had a beautiful baby girl and I was looking for good recipes to make and send over to them.
      This looks great.

      I also love dark chocolate. It just has such an interesting character like a great cup of real strong coffee. I always start with the mr.goodbars , krackel, dark chocolate and the milk chocolate goes in the work candy dish..

      my husband bought me a bag of those individually wrapped Ghiradelli special dark chocolates for Valentines day.. I think some roses would have been better, but these will last a lot longer.. to be individually seduced.

      I agree with your chip list, fritos are always the last stuck in the back of the snack cupboard.

      Thanks for your great recipes, especially for the way you share you and your creativity. It's refreshing to read your words.

      anonymous: the thing with fritos is that they are the perfect thing for a Straw Hat, which I have NEVER seen in LA, but ate all the time as an elementary schooler in San Antonio - fritos, chili, cheese.
