Wouldn't this be a fabulous gift for the upcoming holidays? Imagine the look on their faces when they bite into one of these? Priceless. They'd say "oh my gosh there's cake inside my peanut butter cup!" That's reason enough to make them.
I mean who doesn't love a little cake with their peanut butter? And why not throw them into a nice cute little milk chocolate cup?
Ever since I made my first homemade peanut butter cup way back in 2009 I've always had it in the back of my mind to kick them up a notch, somehow, someway. Finally I thought of putting cake inside when all this cake ball madness came about from Bakerella.
I hope some of you make these, they are a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Cook notes:
I only made 12 (regular size muffin tins) with this. You could go ahead and make a lot more, but I only wanted 12. The rest of the cake batter I used them for cake pops.
One could make these cups smaller, like mini's, but it might be hard as you have to put a layer of cake batter in there and a layer of pb filling—you need the room that a regular sized muffin tin has.
I used milk chocolate for this, you could try dark; I don't know how that would taste.
I used devils food cake for this as I wanted something that would go nice with peanut butter. But feel free to experiment and use any type of cake filling you desire.
Cake filling:
1 box devil food cake mix
1 can cream cheese frosting
Peanut butter filling:
1 cup of plain or crunchy peanut butter (use a pb that is not runny or too oily)
2 TB confectioners sugar
3 TB of crushed graham crackers, finely crushed
Milk chocolate cups:
About 2-3 cups of melted milk chocolate
Pastry brush
Bake cake according to directions on box. Let cool, then crumble cake into large bowl or use a food processor to crumble. Then mix the cake crumbles with the can of cream cheese frosting. Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill for an hour.
Line a regular muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Melt the milk chocolate over a double boiler. It's best to use this so this way we can go back and reheat what we need in steps. Take pastry brush and gently line the bottoms and sides of the cupcake liners with melted milk chocolate; do this a couple times as we want a nice thick bottom and sides to hold all the stuffing inside. Let the chocolate harden in the fridge or on the counter.
Make the peanut butter filling by combining the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and crushed graham crackers. Mix well, cover and store in fridge.
Take your chilled cake batter and scoop out "almost golf ball" size and place into hardened chocolate cups; flatten just a bit. Make sure to leave room around the edges for pouring chocolate. Then take your chilled peanut butter filling and make a smaller ball than that of the cake batter and place on top of the cake batter. Once you've done all the cups, let this sit in the fridge to harden up a bit.
Go back to your chocolate over the double boiler and melt chocolate again. With a spoon, take the melted chocolate and filled the sides and tops of the peanut butter making sure to cover everything in chocolate and giving the cup an overall good seal.
You can either let these harden on the counter or if you can't wait the fridge.

The Seattle Mariner's Baseball Glove sculpture outside Safeco Stadium yarnbombed July 26 2012 .
3 Great Things About This
1 . The Glove was yarnbombed for Stitch And Pitch , A festive occasion for people who like to knit and cheer at baseball games . And there are many.
2. This was knit through World Visions U.S.A. with Knit for Kids Initiative . That means all the knitting will be sent to children when this yarnbomb is taken down . The knitting itself was done by Pacific Fibers with the great Seattle yarnbomber Suzanne Tidwell consulting and knitting the spine .
3. The first pitch at the game was thrown out by writer Debbie MacComber who often writes about knitting . I think more knitting writers should go into professional baseball . Also The Mariners won .
Creative secret : We all need a reason to create . We need to have it clear in our mind – or we won't create – we will just wash the dishes instead .
Here are 2 great reasons – make a great yarnbomb to delight the Mariners baseball fans and then give all the knitting to children afterwards . Art and charity and knitting .
Aesthetics ; A giant knitted glove – your eye can clearly see that this is a baseball glove and it's so humorous to see it knit . We all have had knitted gloves to wear so when you look at the knitting you can feel it in your body . It's beautiful and reassuring at the same time .

Protesters gather in support of gun rights
YREKA – As passing motorists honked their car horns in support, approximately 75 protesters holding pro Second Amendment signs gathered at the corner of Oberlin Road and Main Street in Yreka Saturday morning to express their opposition to proposed gun law reforms.
The Peaceful Gun Appreciation Day Rally in Yreka was one of many held nationwide – all in response to President Barack Obama's proposal to restrict the capacity of gun magazines, ban assault rifles and tighten background checks for those seeking firearm ownership in the face of a series of recent mass shootings throughout the country.
The rallies came at the heels of announcements from several sheriffs in southern Oregon and northern California that they will not enforce federal legislation which takes firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.
Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey, who attended the rally, said he is among those opposed to gun law reforms, and that he does not believe restricting gun ownership will deter crime.
While Lopey noted that he wishes to read the legislation prior to making an automatic decision on the enforcement of any future lawful provisions, he said, "I have no intention of taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, enforcing unconstitutional federal laws or infringing upon the constitutional rights of Siskiyou County citizens."
Rally participants told the Daily News they believed their message was well received by passing motorists.
Andy Jura commented, "We believe it is our right and responsibility to be able to defend ourselves and the Constitution."
He added that many rally participants are ex-military service men who fought to defend this country.
"We take our constitutional rights very seriously," he said.
Louise Gliatto told the Daily News that she believes polls which show the majority of U.S. citizens support gun law reforms are skewed by the liberal media, and she hopes the rally showed lawmakers that citizens want their Second Amendment rights to remain intact.
"We want them to keep their hands off of the Second Amendment. Gun ownership is a right, not a privilege," she said.
Gliatto, along with several other rally goers, commented that throughout history, dictators disarmed their people prior to perpetrating mass genocides.
Carolyn Duerr of Etna and Don Hugo of Fort Jones both told the Daily News that they wish the resources expended to reform gun laws would instead go toward improving mental health services, which they said would address the root cause of mass shootings.
"All of the mass shootings have been carried out by mentally unstable people," commented Hugo. "Our country should be identifying the people who are unstable and getting them the help they desperately need. I believe that is where the effort should be centered."
Duerr stated, "Guns are definitely not the problem," and she commented that society is not doing a good enough job of reaching out to provide services to the mentally ill.
She said parents and teachers are often reluctant to admit their children or students have mental health problems, and many parents shy away from taking their children to receive social services because they fear they will be blamed.
Regarding the recent mass shooters, Duerr said, "Somebody knew those young people were in trouble."
Lopey told the Daily News, "I do not believe that taking assault-type weapons away from law-abiding citizens will deter or prevent crime, but it will increase the victimization of innocent citizens and violate their constitutional rights. It is ridiculous to think that limiting magazine capacities will deter or prevent crime."
He added that criminals may obtain whatever gun they wish to steal or purchase on the black market, and the government will be penalizing honest, law-abiding citizens by imposing gun prohibitions.
"The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights protects one's right to legally keep and bear arms, and innocent citizens should not be punished for the despicable crimes of psychopaths and murderers," said Lopey.
He said that in his opinion, if citizens are deprived of their constitutional rights to keep and bear arms, all other rights "will be irrelevant because they will be subject to forfeiture at the whim of political leaders who want to control the people and take away their rights."
He maintained that some political leaders are exploiting recent tragedies in Colorado and Connecticut to promote political agendas when the focus should be on vigorous enforcement of current gun laws, not the addition of laws that he said will do nothing but help criminals victimize people.
"Preventing crime involves everything from education and anti-drug efforts to expanding mental health care," stated Lopey. "Taking guns away from law-abiding citizens will only create more crime and in many cases turn honest, good citizens into criminals."

'Fiscal cliff' standoff over, Obama back in Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) ? A week after rushing to Washington to help end a tense, end-of-year standoff with Congress, President Barack Obama is back in Hawaii for vacation.
The president's annual visit to the state where he was born and spent much of his childhood was interrupted as he and members of Congress contended with the unfinished business of the "fiscal cliff" crisis that threatened to throw the economy back into recession.
The Republican-controlled House gave final legislative approval Tuesday night to a package that avoids income tax increases for most Americans and delays for two months billions in across-the-board spending cuts. Minutes later, Obama appeared in the White House briefing room to praise the deal in an eight-minute speech.
"And I hope that everybody now gets at least a day off, I guess, or a few days off, so that people can refresh themselves, because we're going to have a lot of work to do in 2013," he said.
A short time later, Obama was aboard the presidential helicopter, bound for a Maryland Air Force Base. Barely 30 minutes after he had finished his remarks he was in the sky on Air Force One, bound for Hawaii.
The president arrived in Honolulu before 5 a.m. local time and immediately rejoined his family in their rented beachside vacation home in Kailua, a picturesque Honolulu suburb on the east side of Oahu. Kailua Beach is a popular place for wind sports and paddle surfing.
Obama and his family had spent several days, including Christmas Day, at the secluded compound before he returned to Washington on Dec. 26 for the fiscal cliff negotiations.
Obama signed the bill Wednesday evening with an autopen, a mechanical device that copies his signature. He also signed a bill authorizing fiscal year 2013 expenditures for the Defense Department.
Obama has spent much of his time in Hawaii golfing at a Marine Corps base in nearby Kaneohe, where he also has gone for near-daily workouts, including one shortly after his arrival on Wednesday.
Having finished a year marked by a grueling campaign for a second term, Obama has much work ahead of him in the new year.
The fiscal cliff deal delays by two months billions in scheduled in spending cuts. It also sets up battles between Democrats and Republicans over federal spending and debt.
The first showdowns will come over the next three months, when the government's legal ability to borrow money expires and temporary financing for federal agency budgets will lapse. Republicans have already said, as they did in 2011, that they will demand spending cuts as a condition for extending the debt ceiling.
Obama also faces decisions over Cabinet appointments, with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expected to leave.

Bird owner Stewart Rosenkrantz devastated by loss
A South Florida man is asking for the public's help to find his missing pet bird.
Stewart Rosenkrantz is a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. His two loves are bird-watching and watching birds with his best friend, Poof.
Poof is a 14-year-old green-winged macaw that was last seen Tuesday at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach.
Rozenkrantz said as they were heading back to the car, Poof just flew away and hasn't been seen since.
"She probably landed in the water," he said. "She was low and she was screaming for about a half an hour. And I was yelling her name for three hours and nobody saw her."
He spent the day at the park posting fliers and asking people to contact him if they spot her.
"I'm nothing without her," Rosenkrantz said.
Rosenkrantz said Poof is a real celebrity at the park. He said they've been coming to the park for years and everybody knows her.

Cups Cups and more Cups!
I thought it was time to do another cup lineup of the cups I have. I have so many now that I can't put them all in a line, but luckily I had a little wooden rack to use (Though I'm going to need to make a larger one, as it's not big enough!)
Small Cups
(The unnamed cup is an AliExpress cheapy I bought to see how it compared to similar looking cups)
Large Cups
I couldn't fit them all on the stand, so I did the main unique cups in the top one, and added the others in below.

A menstrual cup is form of reusable menstrual protection. It is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluids. Once in place it forms a seal, preventing blood flowing out of the vagina by collecting it in its "cup" shaped reservoir. Unlike a tampon which absorbs the blood along with the vagina's natural secretions, a menstrual cup simply holds the fluids until you remove it – so they do not dry out the vagina and do not hold the TSS risk that tampons do.
They hold around 20-30ml, which is for most women will cope with a full day without emptying, and at most perhaps you would need to empty it a few times a day for a very heavy flow. A menstrual cup will last (with proper care) for around 10 years, perhaps longer, so while the initial outlay is high, it pays for itself with savings pretty quick.
