Tom Jones and Pumpkin Muf-cakes

well, what in the world do those two things have in common?

i don't know, either...

for christmas i told my paul i wanted a tom jones CD. and today, i finally got it. totally worth waiting for.

so, i put on the cd, don an apron, and try out a new recipe a friend gave me. Of course, i had to make an adjustment for my own personal taste. it goes like this:


Pumpkin Muf-cakes

1 spice cake mix
1- 15 ounce can of pumpkin. not pumpkin pie filling, just plain ole' pumpkin
1/3 cup Hershey's cinnamon chips
1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional- but i had to have 'em!)

combine the cake mix and the pumpkin until throughly blended. then mix it some more....

fold in the chips.

put in muffin/cupcake papers and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

easy peasy.....

and when they're done, you've got this:







these are awesome! and i hate pumpkin. i've never found a reason good enough for me to eat the stuff, but these are incredible! of couse, adding the chocolate chips helps, imo, but even without them they're awesome.

i got 20 muf-cakes out of this recipe and for those of you who care about such things, they're only 1 weight watchers point.

i could eat the whole batch, and not use up all my daily points.....


i've listed some new yarn that's looking for a good home, so if'n you're in the mood for something blue, go check this handspun out:
