Youre sure to attract a leprechaun with these delicious treats. And the brownie-like cupcakes hold a refreshing surprise in the center, so even if you dont find the pot of gold, youll still get a scrumptious surprise!

We have to assume Santa likes some variation on Christmas Eve, so the dough in this recipe is a perfect cross between a chocolate chip and an oatmeal cookie; soft and chewy in the center with a slight crunch at the edge.

This just may be the most outrageous cake we have concocted yet! Our friend John brought us a Blums Crunch Cake a year ago stating that this was his favorite childhood dessert. It was delish. We promised to make him one for his birthday this year. And so we did.

We make a lot of cupcakes and we especially love these because they require no frosting. Because they are black with a white filling, it looks like you went to a lot of trouble because you had to bake them twice – but you didn’t! This surprise cupcake is a good one to keep in the baking repertoire. Black Batter Ingredients
