Chewy Brownies!

This is not my usual (signature) brownies.  For some reason I don't feel like baking that one. 

But this is good, too... a chewy, fudgy brownie that's irresistable!


Irresistible, I tell you!

Frost

I've often admitted it - I am NOT a fan of chocolate. I don't hate it, it's just that I don't really crave it or look for it.  In fact, when I was (way, way) younger and had suitors who gave boxes of chocolate, it was my younger brother who benefited!

Oh well.

But, seeing as there are a lot of chocoholics out there (who keep asking for chocolate goodies...) here's another one... of the white variety.

As usual, I used my go-to (absolute favorite) vanilla cupcake recipe and made a few (little) changes by adding melted white chocolate.

The big (and happy) surprise?  They were perfect!!!  If I would "fall in love" with any chocolate cupcake, this would be it!!!

See them out of the oven...


With gorgeous white chocolate buttercream...


The cupcakes were more than vanilla!  They had a subtle hint of white chocolate, not overpowering, with exactly the right flavor!  And the buttercream?  Wow, heavenly!!!

Yummmmmmm... mmmm... mmmm...

Rowie

This cupcake is named after the person who requested it...  she wanted a specific flavor combination - Chocolate Vanilla Marble Cupcake frosted with Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting...


a clearer picture of another one in the same batch...


It's actually pretty good... but I have to work out the marbling thing more carefully.  Some cupcakes ended up looking more like chocolate with minimal vanilla.

(I will see you again, cupcake! and next time, you will be prettier!)
