Happy National Chocolate Cupcake Day!

Yes - it IS a real holiday. At least a food holiday. :) In honor of the day, I made some S'mores cupcakes. I'd been wanting to try this for a while & when I saw the cute ghost shaped marshmallows at Publix, I was sold. Graham cracker crust on the bottom, chocolate cupcake w/a marshmallow inside, chocolate buttercream with crushed graham crackers & another marshmallow on top! Totally delicious, especially when you put it in the microwave for just a few seconds - it melts the marshmallow!

Homemade doughnuts!

This was my first crack at homemade doughnuts. I got some new doughnut pans and have been anxious to try them out - and so was Chris! I bought the mix that goes with it for the first try, but will definitely be making them from scratch the next time. We used the cinnamon sugar that came with the mix and also powdered sugar. Some of the little ones turned more into muffins because I put too much batter in the tiny wells, but they still taste delicious!!!
