Honey Cupcakes

I haven't tried these yet, but boy do they look good. I've never been big on cream cheese or peanuts (don't get me wrong- I like peanuts, but not peanut food. My mom's the same way about watermelon) so I'm leaving the nuts out but I'm going to try the cream cheese frosting when I make this.

I think it's supposed to remind you of those Salty'n'Sweet bars. The original recipe name was something to that extent. We have a girl in our hotshop who literally consumes very little other than those hard little peanut bars and Gatorade. She's a cross-country runner and we make fun of her, calling them her Salty'n'Sweat bars. She actually doesn't sweat that much at all, but everyone gets teased in here.

No, I stole the picture. I haven't had a chance to try anything from this sudden burst of cupcake recipes, so until I do I am am photoless.

I think the girl that makes these uses "nut cups"- little paper or foil party favor type-cups that she buys at the craft store. Apparently, they make neat cupcake papers. I tend to bake my cupcakes naked because I think cupcake papers are ugly in general. My mom had some that looked like eggs a long time ago- super pale shades of blue, yellow, pink, green, brown that were gorgeous, so I used those. But then we ran out, so my cupcakes have been running "free as a naked jaybird" since.
That's what my mom would say, anyway. It seems like all my baby photos are labeled, "NAKED JAYBIRD!!!"
