Technology and I don’t exactly get along.Oh, we coexist together…I know enough to get by.
Take my old Razor phone…
(remember when they came out and were cool?)
Well, I thought I knew everything
there was to know…
how hard is it?
I had the phone for 4 years…
I should know it, right?
Wrong!
It took my oldest all of 10 seconds to find 3 more pages
of symbols that you can use when texting.
Seriously???
I had all those symbols on my phone?
I honestly never saw the tiny word “next” on the screen.
All those years of texting &
never once did I get to send a smiley…
just because I thought my phone wasn’t capable:-)
Technology and me…
well, it might just be me!!
Please tell me I am not the only one.
I hope it doesn’t take me 4 years to learn how
to use the iphone currently in my possession…
Oh, well, at least I have baking going for me!
You HAVE got to try this yummy
brownie cupcake
filled with the most delectable truffle ever!
Remember the Oreo Truffle I created HERE?
I have been plotting ever since to come up with one
that just might top it!
Since peanut butter & chocolate
is my choice of poison most days…
seriously whoever invented this…I love you!!!
…it only made sense to buy some Nutter Butters
and try another truffle cupcake again:-)
You are SO going to love these!!!!
A brownie cupcake
baked with a nutter butter truffle
AND topped with chocolate butter cream???
I am ALL in!
Of course, you could just eat all the frosting…
and have plain brownies…
but who would do such a thing;-)
Nutter Butter Truffle Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 brownie mix(bake according to box, using the cake like directions)
1/2 pkg. Nutter Butters
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 oz. peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350* Crush Nutter Butter cookies. Cream the cream cheese, peanut butter, vanilla, and cookie crumbs until thoroughly blended. Shape into small balls and refrigerate for 1 hour. Make up your brownie batter while the cookies are chilling. Fill cupcake liners with 2 tsp. of batter. Place a cookie ball in the middle of the batter…don’t press it all the way down. Cover the cookie all the way with batter. (your cupcake liner should be 3/4 of the way full) Bake for about 20 minutes. Cool. Frost with chocolate butter cream frosting.
Chocolate Butter Cream:
1 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3-4 tbsp. water
1/8 tsp. salt
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. dark cocoa powder
Cream the butter, vanilla, 3 tbsp. water, and salt until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. If it is still too thick, add the other tbsp. water and beat. Pipe on cupcakes and enjoy the deliciousness that is these cupcakes!!!
Thanks for stopping byand happy weekending:-)

Seriously….I love you! My waistline doesn’t love you as much…
Thanks for another yummy recipe!

haha! My waistline doesn’t love me either:-)
you and your desert combos… you’re good! texting is so secondary as long as you can bake like this!
You had me at Nutter Butter! Yum! These look divine.
I’m technology challenged when it comes to cell phones. I just bought a new one last fall and purposely got one that would do all the fancy email/wi fi/gps stuff. It can text and talk and that makes me happy.
You are an evil genius. I might have told you that before, but I mean it this time. Sheesh, do you have any idea what you do to my will power? This is too much, too much I tell you! I would say thank you for linking up, but I think this post is going to haunt my dreams tonight. Ha ha! J/K, kisses!
OK I could just make the frosting and be as happy as a pig in mud but on top of the cupcakes?! Oh My! Thanks so much for linking up to my Open House and if you didn’t leave a comment, be sure to if you want to be eligible for the giveaway!
Ohhhh you got an Iphone? How do you like it? I got a Droid for Christmas and am fascinated with all the bells and whistles! I want to know when you are going to open up your internet bakery, seriously could use these cupcakes RIGHT NOW!!!
I’ll have to comment later b/c right now I have to go out and buy bigger pants. Eating those cupcakes is going to force me to go up at least a size.
Seriously…amazing!!!
Thanks so much for linking up with my Weekend Bloggy Reading party.

I love to bake and especially fairy cakes!
I will try these–I just made peanut butter cups for Valentine’s so, peanut butter is a fave around here.
But I can share them, right?
Or, maybe not.

Wow….just wow….awesome cupcake. I love it.
I am a total tech phobe even though I do have the iphone (and LOVE it) and do have a blog. But MY blog is not very exciting looking and yours has style and class. I wouldn’t even have the first notion how to change mine even though I desperately want to. You brownie/cupcakes/nutter butter truffle looks so amazing! YUM!
Holy cow, this looks incredible. It makes me really sad I’m allergic to peanuts
Visiting from Sweet As Sugar. Can’t wait to check out your other recipes!

Cathy Holman sent me over. I’m not sure that I should thank her. They remind me of the recipe I make using a miniature peanut butter cup in brownie mix. What I’ve not done is make a delicious frosting…hmmm… Thanks for the recipe. I hope that Cathy will paint one!
