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!

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!
