JUST ONE S’MORE CUPCAKE RECIPE

a fun cupcake twist on the classic S’ more 

I never would have found this recipe if I had a digital cooking timer on the counter. Our new oven, from our recent kitchen, remodel, intimidates me. And, the built-in digital timer is a p.i.t.a to operate. So I read anything within arms reach during the last 3 minutes of oven time. In those minutes I stumbled upon the S’ more cupcake recipe on the side of Betty Crocker’s chocolate fudge cake box.

Just stick with me.  I always try to bring you back with me to the point of my story.

If I did not have a persnickety oven timer I never would have had the time to read the S”more cupcake recipe.

Instead, I would have watched Frasier reruns on the new Peacock network.

I set a few cupcakes aside to make this twist on the classic S’ more.

The best part was I almost had all the ingredients from a S’more filled summer.

I substituted the white frosting with a batch of buttercream frosting.

I forgot about this step (until just now) that the white frosting was supposed to be combined with 1/3 cup marshmallow creme.

Oops! I bet that is why I opted to make my own frosting.

I don’t love the marshmallow creme out of the jar so it worked out just fine. Don’t tell Betty.

Yummy!

 

I totally missed that ingredient and just went on my merry way to frost a dozen cupcakes with my favorite buttercream frosting.

If you follow my baking segments (recipes) for a minute you know my recipes tend to go off the rails.

Just ask my sister!

These cupcakes were easy to prepare and frost.

Raspberry White Chocolate Bars

Are we burned out on chocolate yet? Are the jeans getting a smidge tighter than they were in September? We have to pace ourselves because we have a ways to go from the chocolate holiday Halloween kickoff to Easter. Between peanut butter cups, chocolate hearts and bunny butts there is a lot of milk chocolate on the calendar. These raspberry and white chocolate bars are so amazing they might show up for Valentine’s Day.

These raspberry white chocolate bars are the perfect balance of raspberries and the crumble. The raspberry filling comes from a jar of Raspberry preserves which makes this recipe low effort.

On a side note, one of my favorite places to buy preserves and coffee is HomeGoods. Seriously, HomeGoods (and TJ Maxx and Marshalls) have fun coffees, preserves, sauces and so much more. On a recent trip to HomeGoods, I had gift wrap, preserves, and the comfiest cotton, short sleeve shirts ever that were $5.99 each.

The crumble for these raspberry white chocolate bars are made from a butter, sugar and flour mixture.

Folded between layers of the crumbly mixture, the raspberry preserves and the white chocolate morsels add the perfect amount of sweet.

And, these bars pack well and stayed moist for the week. They are a yummy alternative to the traditional cookie rotation in kitchens across the country!

No Bake Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bars

jNext to chips and guacamole, peanut butter and chocolate are two of my absolute favorite food pairings.  But nothing compares to the dense peanut butter base as the anchor for a layer of melted milk chocolate. These no-bake peanut butter and chocolate bars are a favorite for my middle child so I pull this out of the archives for his post-finals return home in a few days! #mymiddle

These chocolate and peanut butter bars require no oven so it’s a fun recipe to introduce to your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or husbands. My sister made these with her niece and nephews years ago and they are a favorite everytime she visits.

The absence of an oven also increases my recipe success too! And, the chilled temperature to set the chocolate make them a great summer treat!

The smaller the pan, the thicker the bar. Just look at that layer of chocolate on top of a big slab of peanut butter infused with powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers and butter.

I actually cut the square bars into smaller sizes than what is shown below. It’s a visual trick that if you cut them in half you can have twice as many. Right?

These no-bake peanut butter and chocolate bars are perfect for holiday treats.  The dense base makes them them travel-friendly if delivering by sidewalk or car.
