Yay for Girl Scout Cookies!

I LOVE Girl Scout cookies! But I don't waste my time with Trefoils or any of those new flavors. I go for the good ones -- Samoas, Tagalongs, and of course Thin Mints. Who hasn't enjoyed an entire box of frozen Thin Mints?! Yum!

That's why I'm in love with Java Cupcake's Thin Mint Cupcakes! Chocolate stout cupcakes, whipped, chocolate ganache, and vanilla bean peppermint buttercream. I think this will hold me over until I get my actual Girl Scout cookies.

Super Bowl Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes from Cupcake Project

I'm not a big football fan, but I do love the Super Bowl. Sadly, not for the football, but for the food. The Super Bowl is less than two weeks away and I'm already starting to see lots of great food ideas for the big day.

Cupcake Project posted these Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes, which would be perfect for any Super Bowl party. You may be wondering, like I was, if these cupcakes are sweet or savory. Cupcake Project answers this question, as well as others, in her post (answer: they are savory).

What is your favorite Super Bowl snack?

Bacon Frosting: Yum or Yuck?

Uncrate recently posted about a product to add to your cupcakes: bacon frosting. Yes, I said bacon frosting. I love a good cupcake with bacon, but artificial-flavored bacon frosting? Count me out. Would you shell out $3.96 for this product and use it?
