Chocolate Covered Oranges

OK- The brownies from last night were a success...except the caramel that I put into them to create the creamy goodness? Ya it sunk and hardened up so when you bit into it you just about broke your teeth...luckily this didn't happen and my tasters teeth are safe! This is why I do research and development--The tasters did say that the brownies were awesome...so that's great! Lesson learned--caramel sauce will be substituted for the caramel candies...

On to tonight's recipe---

Today was an awfully quiet day as I only had Hunter and Cash to look after and the girls were at school..so of course recipes are a-swimming in my head :)

We went to Walmart to get some groceries on Friday and they had a HUGE bag of oranges for 4 dollars--hell yes! I love oranges let's get them---(it's now Tuesday and I haven't eaten one) so as they sit in their bag on my kitchen floor I wonder what the hell I'm going to do with 20 oranges...yummy orange cupcakes are the answer! Thanks to my boss Melissa saying that she likes butter cream frosting this morning I whip out my Chocolate Buttercream recipe and get to mixin'....the result? Chocolate Covered Oranges! I took one of the oranges and added the zest to my vanilla cupcake batter and I must say- I am NOT a big chocolate covered orange fan..but this was pretty tasty...makes me wonder..What other flavors can I cover in chocolate??

Tomorrow my marketing lady is coming over for a meeting to talk business-- Web page--logos you name it and best of all I pay her in cupcakes...Where did I get free marketing? My sister in law of course!

Coming this weekend---Peach Cobbler Cupcake...
