These homemade candy bar cupcakes aren't just topped with candy bars -- they also have a candy bar center. Use your favorite "fun size" chocolate bars for a treat that is great for Halloween parties or as a way to use up leftover Halloween candy.
These are a versatile cupcake - I used Milky Way bars and Snickers, but you could substitute just about any candy bar. The first step is to chop up 3 oz of unsweetened chocolate.

Whole Wheat Carrot Cake

That was until we did the unexpected: we hosted an ice cream sundae party.

Carrot Pineapple Cake (My Birthday Cake)
For the last few years for my birthday, Wellie makes me a carrot cake. More often than not, it's a homemade carrot cake - and sometimes if I am lucky, I get it on Mother's Day too.
The thing about the carrot cakes she makes me if that we never save the recipe. Each year she goes on an internet search for a carrot cake that includes pineapple in it and I would imagine that each year it has been a different recipe.
This year was no different.
Wellie went on a search on her laptop and at the
