Heaven in a cupcake.

Thank you tideandthyme.com for this amazing peanut butter cookie cupcake. Rich chocolate and peanut butter goodness --- what's not to love? 

Anytime I am in the kitchen, I try and include at least one of my kids in the process so that they grow to be just as passionate about cooking as I am. This time around, I had my 9 year old help by compiling all of the ingredients and reading off the instructions. I explained to him how his job is the most important because one error could make or break the recipe. After I concluded my lecture on carefully following instructions, wouldn't you know we forgot to add in the brown sugar? Oops! Since the cupcakes were already baking, we knew that the actual cake itself would not be as sweet. So we decided to try and salvage our cupcakes by filling the centers with the chocolate ganache.  OH MY WORD, THESE WERE SINFULLY FANTASTIC! We both agreed these babies should be called "Heaven in a Cupcake".

Here is my end result, not as pretty as the ones on tide&time, but just as delicious.
