Hey…Hey…Hey!
Welcome to our first recipe on Pupcake Sugar. I’m Sugar. I’ll be sharing all of my yummy mini pupcake recipes and stories with you. I’m so excited that I can barely contain myself. So, let’s start sampling these lovely little delights, shall we.
What do you get when you combine carob and peanut butter together?
A piece of yummy pupcake heaven.
This pupcake is inspired by one of my mom’s favorite candies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Let me just say, the smell alone is irresistible. I sat at the entrance of the kitchen the entire time my mom was baking and didn’t waste any time eating one as soon as she put one in my dish.
These pupcakes are perfect for any dog that absolutely loves carob, and of course peanut butter together.
