CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES to be precise
i traced this recipe from nikki back to the frugal witch, back to how about orange. the one thing we have in common (apart from being bloggers) is that we've ALL made these incredibly yummy cupcakes. the thing i love the most (apart from the chewy caramel flavour) - FOCUS sue! - is that each of us had entirely different-looking results.
i love that, because - TRUST ME - i have NEVER made ANYTHING that looked even REMOTELY like the picture in the recipe book.
can i hear an amen?
anyway - i saw the recipe on nikki's blog and pretty much frog-marched my nearest daughter into the kitchen to make them with me (coz it's more fun that way, right?)
oh - and i got 24. everyone seems to get a different amount. i'm figuring it all depends how much ends up on your lickety finger...
ready mum!
i'm ready too! [slurp]
all concentration
ok, so the topping includes cream cheese, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. i've never even HEARD of peanut butter chips, (and hate peanut butter [shudder]) let alone where to buy them, so i substituted white chocolate chips. after sitting for a bit, they took on a caramel-looking appearance and came out of the oven all crunchy and chewy-like. (NB: this is a GOOD thing).
when baking with children, i always do the initial mixing to avoid unsightly lumps (like these ones)
but look at that - all nice and smooth
ready for the oven
of course, bowl licking is compulsory
and there we are...
now all that's left is to fight over them!
YUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!

After reading your post, I have such a craving for cupcakes. Do you know what the best part about being a grown-up at this moment is? Even though I haven't had dinner yet, I can just go eat cupcakes until I'm sick. And I will.
Someplace my kids can't see me.
Sue. You had me at your title.
Heaven in a cupcake?
Why YES.
Okay, I look like Homer right about now.
Off to the kitchen to find some chocolate.
I. Need. Cupcakes. NOW!
Darn you Scrappy Sue!! :)
Wow. I didn't realize how much I looked like Homer until I got to that last picture. Those look yummy.
Yum! It's only six in the mornning and I could really go for one of those!

Hmmmm Yum! They look delish! I would have used peanut-butter chips for sure!:)
I saw that recipe on Nikki's blog and copied it and was going to try it next week when I have the grand daughters! They looked so good and I can't wait to try them! You are so funny and my cooking never look like the pictures either!
Mmmmm cake! They look scrumptious.
Looks like you had a fun time in the kitchen. See it's not really that difficult now is it ;-)
Try out some of these ones too: Accidental cook. They are good :-)
First I almost licked the computer screen .. can you bring some of those with when you come visit?????
And you know I am sure they turned out so well because you had this sip o'wine before beginning .. who was that Brit chef who used to drink as he cooked? Graham someone ...

Those look so good. I like the licking the bowl shot. I should really do some baking.
Ok, those just sound divine. My kids are peanut butter fiends and love those little chips. I'll have to try this one. :)
Delish!!! I want some!
That looks too good! I know I just gained 10 pounds just looking at the photos!!!
I'd love to stay and chat, but I have some cupcakes to tend to now.
I think I'll try the white choco chip AND the peanut butter versions since I'm a nut for both!
Wow, just when I thought I could conquer the sweets. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
GREAT PSF!!!!!
