Thanksgiving
is a time of tradition when the family comes together for a feast, typically
consisting of the same dishes year after year. Even if your grandma makes the
best stuffing and your Great Aunt Wilma makes the most fabulous thanksgiving
side dish recipes in the country, it might be nice to spice up the menu this
year. Little changes are all that's necessary – and so easy to implement – when
you have some delicious and distinctive cupcake recipes to work from.
Serve up any or all of these sweet specialties and make
the holiday extraordinary; plus, they're the perfect size when you want just a
little something after a huge Thanksgiving dinner. There's no need to forego
the pies altogether, but you may find they take a back seat to these sweet,
petite treats.
Pumpkin
Delights
These
little cakes bring a big burst of autumn flavor with the pleasing tastes of
pumpkin and spice. Like a cross between a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cheesecake, they're a great alternative when you
want dessert that's a little different. Reduce the guilt when you reduce the
fat by using Neufchatel cheese instead of traditional cream cheese. Ingredients
·1
pkg. (2-layer size) spice cake mix
·1 cup
sour cream
·1 can
(15 oz.) pumpkin
·1/4
cup oil
·3
eggs
·1
pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
·1/4
cup butter, softened
·1
tsp. vanilla
·1
pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
·1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions
·Heat
oven to 350ºF.
·Beat
first 5 ingredients with mixer until blended; spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin
cups.
·Bake
20 to 22 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in
pans 10 min.; remove from pans. Cool completely.
·Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla in large
bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually beat in sugar. Blend in cinnamon.
Spread over cupcakes.
Red
Velvet Petites Maybe
it's the deep red hue or the decadent combination of chocolate cake and cream
cheese frosting. Either way, nothing says "holidays" like red velvet
cupcakes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to place a hole in the top of each
cupcake to make filling them easy. Ingredients
·1
pkg. (2-layer size) red velvet cake mix
·1
pkg. (3.9 oz.) chocolate instant pudding
·1
pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
·1/2
cup butter or margarine, softened
·1
pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
·1 cup
thawed nondairy whipped topping
·1 square white chocolate, shaved into curls
Directions
·Prepare
cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes, blending dry
pudding mix into batter before spooning into prepared muffin cups. Cool.
·Beat
cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually
beat in sugar. Whisk in whipped topping. Spoon 1-1/2 cups into small
freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small corner off bottom of
bag. Insert tip of bag into top of each cupcake to pipe about 1 Tbsp. frosting
into center of cupcake.
·Frost cupcakes with remaining frosting. Top with
chocolate curls. Keep refrigerated.
Mini
Boston Cream Pies Thanksgiving
dinner guests will feel extra special when you serve everyone their own
individual Boston Cream Pies. They'll be impressed with the elegant dessert and
you'll be the only one who knows how easy they are to make. Sift a light
dusting of powdered sugar and cocoa powder over a paper doily placed on each
dessert plate before setting the cupcakes on them to serve. Ingredients
·Prepare
cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes. Cool completely.
·Beat
pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min. Let stand 5 min. Meanwhile, use serrated
knife to cut cupcakes horizontally in half. Whisk 1/2 cup whipped topping into
pudding; spoon onto bottom halves of cupcakes, using about 1 Tbsp. for each.
Cover with cupcake tops.
·Microwave remaining whipped topping and chocolate
in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until chocolate is almost
melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until blended. Let stand 15 min.; spread
onto cupcakes. Refrigerate 15 min.
Chocolatey-Peanut
Butter Cupcake Gems A
childhood favorite flavor combination meets sophisticated presentation when you
pipe a silky peanut butter and pudding center into each moist, chocolate
cupcake. A sure-fire favorite, these petite cupfuls of peanuty, chocolaty
goodness are certain to become a new holiday tradition. Let these cupcakes cool
completely before finishing them to prevent the filling and the glaze from
melting. Ingredients
·1 pkg.
(2-layer size) devil's food cake mix
·1
pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla flavor instant pudding
·1 cup
cold milk
·1/2
cup creamy peanut butter
·1-1/2
cups thawed non-dairy whipped topping
·4 oz.
semi-sweet chocolate
·1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
·Heat
oven to 350°F.
·Prepare
cake batter and bake in 24 paper-lined muffin cups as directed on package. Cool
30 min. (Cupcakes still need to be warm to fill.)
·Beat
pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min. Add peanut butter; mix well. Spoon into
small freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Snip off one corner from
bottom of bag. Insert tip of bag into center of each cupcake; pipe in about 1
Tbsp. filling.
·Microwave
whipped topping and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until
chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 min. Dip tops
of cupcakes in glaze; sprinkle with nuts.
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
If you need witnesses or paper records, you can get them by first getting permission from the court. Such family legal matters include prenuptial agreement, domestic violence, divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, division of properties, rights on properties, and many more. This decision is in the hands of the individual states, so you will need to check your own state's policy to find out how you are affected.
Also, some of their wittiness is sure to brush off on you. You could send some enjoying blonde jokes to the blonde friend, or can pass some funny jokes about men and women around to women or men at work. The Toys for Toddlers FIJIT Friend vary in colors and personality.
The hardest to prepare for is leaving your home as you will need to have ready to go with you (in a moment’s notice) everything you will need to survive for at least a couple of days. Sadly, just five percent of pesticides reach their target weeds and garden pest. Be aware, however, that due to the foreclosure crisis, many pet shelters are overwhelmed, and the chances that your pet(s) will have to be euthanized are significant.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Most houses use much more energy in the summer months when the air-conditioners are used the most. Panels do not emit greenhouse gasses nor do they damage ecosystems from accidental spills or dredging.
Another thing you have to count on is that solar homes will be more expensive to buy than any regular ones.
To receive the federal rebate, your solar water heating installation must be approved by SRCC (Solar Rating and Certification Corporation) or an equivalent level government agency. Panels do not emit greenhouse gasses nor do they damage ecosystems from accidental spills or dredging. You had the music playing the battery needed charging.
I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your site. It appears like some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen before. Many thanks
