It’s Tasty Thursday!!

Today we are going to talk about…….Black Bottom Cupcakes!!! These are so yummy you will have a hard time eating just one. My oldest son made these the other day and I had forgotten just how good they were so I wanted to share this recipe with you. The KEY is to add plenty of the cream cheese mixture into the cupcake – that gives it an almost cheesecake like texture at the bottom. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

1 8oz Package Cream Cheese
1 Egg Beaten slightly
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Flour
1/4 Cup Cocoa
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Oil

Instructions

Combine first three Ingredients (Cream Cheese, Egg, Sugar) and beat well – Add Chocolate Chips and set aside
Mix remaining ingredients well – the batter will be thin so don’t worry!
Add cupcake liners to a pan then fill 1/3 to 1/2 full
Drop one large Tablespoon of the cream cheese mix into the batter. (This is what makes these extra yummy!
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes

BEST BUCKEYES

We are OSU Buckeye fans! It helps having triplets boys who go to Ohio State University but even before that we have been hugs fans of the Buckeyes – the trees (we have a massive one in our backyard), the team and of course the yummy combination of chocolate & peanut butter!

We hope you enjoy this delicious recipe as much as we do!

Ingredients

1 Stick Butter
1 Pound Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 Bags Chocolate Chips
1 T Paraffin Wax

Instructions

Mix first 4 ingredients together. Roll into small balls and chill overnight (Just try not eating a couple of these even before the next step!)
Melt the chocolate and wax together in a double boiler. The wax is to make the chocolate smooth, shiny and stick better – you don’t need a lot.
Dip the chilled balls into the chocolate with a toothpick. Place on wax paper to cool. Enjoy!
