No. 12: Chocolate Pecan Pie

Crumbs offered two cupcakes to celebrate National Pecan Month this month.  I chose the Chocolate Pecan Pie because of all the pecans and caramel drizzle on top...two things I love.

The chocolate cake, chocolate ganache filling, and chocolate cream cheese frosting will make any choc-o-holic happy.  But I particularly like how the pecans and caramel add additional flavors and texture to complement all the chocolate.

No. 11: Nestlé Crunch

Crumbs is competing in a Nestlé® Crunch contest with this entry and they definitely loaded this cupcake up.  Layered with a Blondie bar at the bottom, Crunch pieces, & chocolate cake.  Then frosted with chocolate buttercream and topped with a mini Crunch candy bar AND a mini blondie chocolate chip cookie.  It's four different desserts in one.  This is the first time I've had a cupcake made with a dessert bar and the Blondie definitely was more dense in texture than cake.  I like the idea but prefer an all-cake cupcake.  Loved the Crunch candy topper!

This is a decadent dessert for sure and go ahead and try it while it's available.

No. 10: The Celtic

I celebrated this St. Patrick's Day with The Celtic cupcake.  I wish the flavors gave this one more of an Irish flare, but it was only the shamrock decoration and green-tinted filling.  The flavors were chocolate cake with a vanilla filling.
