Self-Filling Cupcakes!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone!

I love exchanging recipes. If I can get my hands on a REALLY good one, chances are my family are going to be eating in within a few days or weeks.

In the middle of December I had a Recipe Exchange & Christmas Party at my house with some of the other Mom's from Pre-School. Tracy, brought these cucakes....ok so you're thinking cupcakes BIG DEAL....UH HELLO...THEY WERE A BIG DEAL!! I was unable to try one while she was at the house, but I grabbed one before going to bed. Ok so that's a lie, I ate the last 2...oops..lol.

These cupcakes are HEAVENLY! Tracy made white cupcakes, but being a try Chocoholic, tonight I made chocolate ones.

The recipe is simple, and not to sweet. It took me no time at all to get them made, and because it was cold outside, I put them on the front stairs to cool off...however I obviously did not leave them long enough because the frosting became more of a glaze. Still totally DELISH!

Thanks Tracy!

Enjoy Everyone!
