Cupcake Recipes

Hi Everyone,

Yes it has been a while since I last published a post.  But today I have some recipes and pictures I want to share with all of you.  I have been baking cupcakes lately and I want to share them with you.  So put away the calorie counter and enjoy!

Lime Cupcakes

1 box of French Vanilla cake mix
3/4 box of lime jello
1/2 cap full of green food coloring

Follow direction on box and add jello and food coloring.  Mix and bake according to package directions. Cool before frosting.

Frosting

1 container of white classic frosting (I use Duncan Hines)
1/4 box of green jello
1/4 cap full of green food coloring

Mix all ingredients together and frost cupcakes.  Enjoy.  (I froze the extra frosting for another time)


Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

1 box of chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup of peanut butter  (Skippy or Jif)
Small Reese's Peanut Butter cups

Mix first 2 ingredients together.  Set aside 1/3 of the batter for the next recipe.  Fill regular size cupcake liners about 3/4 full.  Push into the center of each one small Reese's Peanut Butter cup.  Bake at 350 degrees unto toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool before frosting.

Frosting

1 container of Milk Chocolate frosting
1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter

Mix the two ingredients together and frost.  Chop extra Reese's peanut butter cups and sprinkle on to each frosted cupcake.  Enjoy!


Bacon, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Cupcakes

1/3 of batter from above recipe
1/4 cup of crispy, crumbled bacon

Mix the two ingredients, bake at 350 degrees until done.  Cool before frosting.  Use same frosting as above and top each cupcake with crispy, crumbled bacon.  Enjoy.

Below are pictures of the cupcakes.

Reese's Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes

I wanted to showcase these two flavors of cupcakes on my grandmother's plate.  This plate is probably close to a hundred years old.
