We had a big SPRING TRAINING EXTRAVAGANZA this last weekend. I felt like these cupcakes were appropriate for the occasion.
:: A FEW YUMMY CHOCO-HOLIC RECIPES ::
Toffee Brownies
1 (17.6-ounce) package brownie mix with walnuts
Vegetable oil cooking spray
3 (6-ounce) candy bars with almonds and toffee chips (recommended: Symphony brand)
Directions
Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions.
Line a 13 by 9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spoon in half of the brownie batter and smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the candy bars side by side on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter. Bake according to package directions. Let cool completely, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil. This makes is easy to cut the brownies into squares.
* I got this recipe from my good friend Annaka.. these are the best brownies EVER.

You always have such cute and yummy treats!! Seriously, you should start a business.
so occassionally Kevin and I look at your blog and you don't know me but I am obsessed with your cute cupcakes did you take classes or you just figure it out on your own. I think cupcakes are way cuter than whole cakes (we actually had a cupcake cake at our wedding) I am going to try copying you ... you guys look cute and happy!
you kill me, so yummy! you are just too cute!
Hi Jaymie, I'm Pauls mom. Glad you found my blog--and I'm glad I found yours. Your cupcakes are so cute--I've got to try them. Have a fun weekend with your family.
I to would like more infor on how you decorate your cupcakes. any hints??
So what do you do with all of your cupcakes? Do you only make 12....or do you pull a KT and make 4-5 dozen? I end up eating most of what I make, and so I need to start only making only 1 batch at a time for my own (weight) sake! They look cute! Thanks for posting the recipes, I'll have to try some of them.
Ok you are an amazing baker!!! I didn't realize. I am so impressed.
