Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Today I get to return the favor for a fellow blogger. Remember Erin from The Spiffy Cookie? She guest posted for me while I was off vacationing in Europe. Well today I’m guest posting for her while she’s off vacationing in Europe!

I made these muffins a couple months ago when my first niece entered the world. I wrapped them up individually so my brother and his wife could keep them in the freezer and just grap one for a quick snack.

So head over to The Spiffy Cookie to get the recipe and see the rest of the post!

One Year Ago: Lemon Pound Cake with Strawberries
Two Years Ago: Dark Chocolate Frosting

I’ll take any leftovers! They sound amazing. I keep saying dessert recipes with bacon and bookmarking them, but I haven’t tried any yet. Adding this one to the list now too. 🙂

The frosting sounds amazing. I honestly still can’t bring myself to get behind bacon in desserts. Maybe someday I’ll try a bacon cupcake if I’m given one though. 🙂 I can only resist so long.

This looks delicious but I’ve got to ask….what is a pirate party?

Fun and Fearless – It’s exactly like it sounds… Everyone dresses up as a pirate (or something related – Hubby and I went as Treasure maps last year). They even hire this guy who looks like Captain Jack Sparrow to come and there’s a prize for best costume. One of the best parties of the year!

Sounds great! The problem I’ve seen with bacon is that sometimes it is chewy in cupcakes. That’s not good. I like that this recipe says to cook until crispy. Extra crispy for me!

I’m so curious to try bacon in baked goods, but do you think turkey bacon would work?

Corrine – I’m sure turkey bacon would work if you could get it nice and crispy. I’ve heard that if the bacon isn’t super crispy, it has a really weird chewy texture in baked goods.

Chocolate..caramel…bacon…PERFECTION.
I am infatuated with the perfect smoky/salty addition of bacon into sweet baked goods. So delicious. Of course, I’m kind of a fan of adding bacon into just about anything.
Great pics, def wanna try these out!

Sorry the cupcakes didn’t turn out like you wanted. Have you ever tried the bacon/chocolate cupcake at Cherry Bomb Bakery in Brighton? They are fantastic!
