Chocolate, Caramel & Pecans.... Oh My!

I am always trying to come up with a new type of cupcake, cookie or just about anything sweet. I wanted to try making a cupcake that had a filling. Sure, I've tried it with my Raspberry Devils but, I wanted more. This is what I came up with.... Chocolate Turtle Cupcakes. SWEET, GOOEY AND DELICIOUS WITH A LITTLE CRUNCH. On this recipe I didn't use actual caramel, I used a mexican caramel called CAJETA. I used this because I wanted something different than the usual caramel. This also gave me a chance to work on making homemade buttercream frosting.

Late Night Snack

The other night while watching t.v. with Mike and the kids, we wanted something sweet. I didn't bake anything that night or the night before. With a little help from Graham Crackers, Nutella and Bananas, we ended up with a pretty good snack that was quick and easy to make.... even for a seven year old. :) aka: my daughter.
