Lemon cupcakes with Lime Buttercream
Cupcake recipe here: http://www.recipegirl.com/2007/03/16/white-wedding-cake-cupcakes/ I substituted lemon cake mix for the white cake mix, half the vanilla for lime juice and zest from lime and used two whole eggs instead of 4 egg whites.
Buttercream recipe here: http://www.recipegirl.com/2007/03/16/wedding-cupcake-buttercream/ I used about 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice instead of vanilla and added a bit of cream to get a nice consistency for piping.

Note: Again, since I have the tendency to throw random amounts of things together…use your best guess.
1 - 1 1/2 cups Natural Peanut Butter (You can use regular peanut butter, but I have an obsession, okay.)
1/4 cup Cocoa
3 - 4 cups Life Cereal (or another cereal of your choice, like Shreddies, Chex, etc. Even bran flakes might work, AND they would mean less guilt if you consumed it for the whole day.)
Icing Sugar
Melt the peanut butter in a large pot over low heat.
Stir in the cocoa until mixed in.
Pour in the cereal and stir it until well coated. Remove pot from heat.
Add the icing sugar in gradual amounts (roughly a 1/4 cup at a time) until the cereal looks lightly coated (or to your taste).
Make sure you are surrounded by others to save you from being consumed by it’s deliciousness.Just want to make an note here, as she does on her site, that this is not actually for dogs. NOT FOR DOGS. Just a cute name for a sweet treat :)
