Another Experiment

I don't generally find the need to post things baked from boxes here. (And I don't bake a lot of stuff from boxes.) After all, most everyone can make stuff from a box, right? Lol. But these were interesting enough... As you see, for Christmas, I was gifted this lovely cupcake mix. For those of you who don't know, Reese's is about my favorite candy, ever. So this was pretty intriguing to say the least. That and my mom kept asking if I'd made them yet.

So last night I made dinner for company, and decided to try these out for dessert. They seemed pretty standard... here are the cupcakes right out of the oven.

Now - the filling proved to be a little more problematic. You're supposed to mix it up, they give you a little sleeve thing to fill the cupcakes with... It worked for the most part, but either I didn't get enough filling in the cupcakes themselves (very likely), or there's way too much there. It sure tasted good when I licked it off my hands, hehe. 

Topped off with some chocolate frosting (also store bought, I'm ashamed to admit), served with some vanilla ice cream, and there you have it! Dessert!

My rating here - pretty dang good. Other than the mess with the filling (which I feel was probably some failing on my part, lol), they baked up easy, and are pretty tasty. Now, nothing can beat homemade and we all know that. But for boxed stuff - yep, mighty good!
