That’s really all I am going to say right now, because it is getting late, and I better nap… but before I do just a few pictures of various recipe related posts to come…
Just a little “SOMETHING” that I whipped up over the weekend…
In a previous post I talked about my attempt of turning the molten lava cake recipe into something more cupcake-y… and then how I tried to adapt the same recipe for friends of mine that is gluten-free.
But why should I stop at the traditional molten lava cake? I mean there are other bags of “chips” that I had readily accessible that are outside of the semi-sweet chocolate vein… including but not limited to butterscotch (which I have used for the Butterbeer Cupcake recipe), cinnamon (in hopes of creating a chocolate / cinnamon cupcake adaptation), white chocolate… and others.

I mean, it couldn’t be all that bad could it?
