Football Friday- Peanut Butter Cupcakes, plus an extra!

Happy Friday everyone!
I hope you have had a fabulous week!
Today's football Friday recipe is a new one for me- I found it in a cookbook and couldn't wait to try it for the Auburn vs. Ole Miss game. Since Ole Miss's coach is Houston Nutt, PeaNUT butter seemed an important ingredient! They are delicious!

Feeling Nutty? Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Ingredients (For cupcakes)
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
11/2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
2/3 c. milk
1 t. vanilla

Cream shortening, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Add eggs and beat well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add milk and vanilla. Combine shortening and flour mixtures. Pour into 12 sectioned cupcake pan. Bake for 25 min. at 350*.

Icing
1 stick butter
1/2 c. peanut butter
6 t. milk
1 lb. powdered sugar

Bring butter, peanut butter and milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add powdered sugar. Spoon mixture over cupcakes.

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we are headed to Auburn tomorrow for some tailgating with our families- I can not wait!!! I plan to bring these scrumptious cupcakes and some fabulous looking Sourdough Bacon Cheddar Pulls to enjoy while we are down there. Here is the recipe for the pulls from Plain Chicken- such a great blog!

Pull Their Tails Bacon Cheddar Pulls
Ingredients
Sour dough bread
6-12 oz. cheddar cheese
3 oz. real bacon bits
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 T. ranch dressing mix

Cut the bread going both directions. Place the slices of cheese between each cut. Sprinkle baking bits on bread, making sure to get between the cut. Mix the butter and ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil and bake at 350* for 15 min. Continue baking until cheese is melted.

Have a great Friday everyone!
