Pumpkin Pie filled cupcake
Two things that go great together are pumpkin and chocolate, I declare it, the pairing of the season!
Is there such a things as leftover pie? Well, there shouldn’t be but I just was on pie overload and decided to do something creative with the remaining leftovers.
I decided to bake some chocolate cupcakes and fill them with a nice scoop of leftover pie. The result was glorious chocolate + pumpkin magic.
