Today is National Chocolate Cupcake Day for 2015!
You didn't really think I could pass this one by, did ya?
National Okra Day or National Black Eyed Pea Day? Yea, those I can just let pass by without any grand celebration. A day that celebrates not just cupcakes, but chocolate cupcakes? No way I can let that one go by without pulling one out of the archives.
Chocolate and peanut butter are always, always, always a great combo!
You will savor each and every bite! Adding some Reese's Pieces MM's make these cupcakes even more scrumptious!
