Every single time I visited my Grandma Randall this pie was waiting for me in her refrigerator. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She called it "Your Special Pie"! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it is indeed, a special pie, known to most people as a French Chocolate Pie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is fairly easy to make and absolutely delicious!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope it becomes "Your special pie" as well!<br />

So, to be completely honest, these were a mistake....a wonderful happy accident! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's what happened....I woke up on a mission to make my <a href="http://bakingwithmelissa.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-best-brownies.html">favorite brownie cups</a> and well, wouldn't you know it, I only had 3/4 of a cup of coco powder...not enough for those wonderful brownies! Boooo!!! Sooo, I decided to make Blondie's instead...in the middle of mixing and clearly not thinking...I poured in the 3/4 of a cup of coco powder into the mix...and this is what happened!<br />

I have a confession, I am a Chocolate Lover! Shocking right? If you follow this blog you will notice that 99% of everything I bake has some sort of Chocolate in it! I mean, if I am going to do the damage, I may as well be in LOVE with what I am eating, right?<br />
<br />
Last week, I was looking around at <a href="http://pinterest.com/glassie00/">my Pinterest Boards </a>I found <a href="http://www.aspicyperspective.com/2010/05/farmstand-fresh.html">this amazing recipe</a> for a Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake and well, my goodness, the title alone gets me excited! <br />

<h2>
Fresh <span class="il">Strawberry</span> <span class="il">Yogurt</span> Cake</h2>
<div>
<h3 style="clear: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened<br />
2 cups sugar<br />
3 eggs<br />
3 Tb. lemon juice, divided<br />
Zest of 1 lemon<br />
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided<br />
½ tsp. baking soda<br />
½ tsp. salt<br />
8 oz. plain or vanilla, Greek <span class="il">yogurt (I used Vanilla)</span><br />
12 oz. fresh <span class="il">strawberries</span>, diced<br />
1 cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The batter alone is what won me over! Look at this goodness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div>
<h3 style="clear: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Directions:</span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Mix together 2 ¼ cups of the flour, baking soda and
salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cream together the butter and sugar until
light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 Tb.
lemon juice. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the <span class="il">yogurt</span>,
mixing just until incorporated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Toss the <span class="il">strawberries</span> with the remaining ¼ cup of flour. Gently mix them into the batter.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pour the batter into the Bundt pan. Place in the oven and reduce the
temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a
wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled whisk together the remaining 2
Tb. of lemon juice and the powdered sugar. Place cake on cake plate and then drizzle mixture over the top of the
cake. (<b>Note</b>: Only using 2 Tb of lemon juice made my glaze very thick, next time I will add 3 Tb. to the powdered sugar to make it thinner).</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a very DARK bundt pan which tends to bake my cakes faster and darker. If you have a darker pan, watch your cake and make sure you do not over bake it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This cake is definitely worth making! Note: The Strawberries can all fall to the top or disperse themselves throughout the cake depending on the thickness of the Greek Yogurt you use. Either way, this cake is moist and delicious! The mixture of lemon and strawberry is AMAZING! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottom of the cake is dense yet gooey! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything about it is perfect! </div>

I was inspired by<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/229005431/peanut-butter-and-oatmeal-dream-bars-five-stars/" target="_blank">this recipe </a></span>that I found on <a href="http://www.pintrest.com/glassie00" target="_blank">PINTEREST</a> and just HAD to try it! My goodness these are AMAZING! And not only that, you can make this recipe in 2 bowls and you don't even have to bust out a mixer or run out to the store (if you already have the basics for baking in your pantry)!<br />
<br />
The center of these sweet treats is where all of the magic happens! The peanut butter center is so creamy and delicious! I never knew that Oatmeal and Peanut Butter were such a perfect match! But they are! You will LOVE these!</div>
<br />
Ingredients: <br />
<ul>
<li>1 cup melted butter </li>
<li>1 cup brown sugar </li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking soda </li>
<li>2¼ cups Old Fashioned Oats</li>
<li>1½ cups flour </li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt </li>
<li>½ cup creamy peanut butter</li>
<li> 1 can sweetened condensed milk </li>
<li>2 cups of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips </li>
</ul>
<br />
Directions: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Preheat oven to 350.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Lightly spray 2 mini muffin pans with PAM. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In a medium mixing bowl, stir together melted butter, sugar, soda, oatmeal, flour & salt until it’s crumbly.
Add one cup of the chocolate chips.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o97VmJ_rxJk/UT0FyBu8tgI/AAAAAAAABCY/O457wiuuBTg/s1600/IMAG1151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o97VmJ_rxJk/UT0FyBu8tgI/AAAAAAAABCY/O457wiuuBTg/s400/IMAG1151.jpg" width="238" /></a>Press the crust into prepared mini muffin pan and fill up about 1/2 way. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Set aside the rest of the crust for later. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bake crust for 2 minutes. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>While crust is cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Once crust has baked, put one full teaspoon of the peanut butter filling over each of the mini muffin cups.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top of the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk mixture. Bake for 8 minutes. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Once done baking press the remaining chocolate chips on top of the cups so the chocolate melts.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Allow to cool and then gently twist the cups out of the pan.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Yeilds 36-48 Mini Cookie Cups (depending on how full you fill your pans)!</li>
</ul>

People LOVE these Fudgy Oatmeal Cookie Cups! Originally a fudgy "bar" recipe that I later baked in mini muffin tins for individual bite sized goodness! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fudgy Oatmeal Cookie Cups</b></span></div>
<br />
<b>Ingredients for the cookie layer: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>1 cup butter, softened</li>
<li>2 cups packed brown sugar</li>
<li>2 eggs</li>
<li>2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1 tsp baking soda</li>
<li>1 tsp salt</li>
<li>3 cups quick cooking oats</li>
<li>1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 Tbsp vanilla extract</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b>Ingredients for the Fudge: </b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk</li>
<li>2 cups semisweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>3 Tbsp butter</li>
<li>1/2 tsp salt</li>
<li>1 Tbsp vanilla </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Directions: </b><br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (temp should be set to 325 degrees if using darker pans). Lightly spray 2-24 count mini muffin pans with non-stick spray (this recipe makes at least 48 cookie cups but plan on a few more than that).<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup butter and brown sugar until
fluffy. Mix in eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla. In another bowl, combine
oats, flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir into butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. Set aside.<br />
<br />
In a medium saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, 3
tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over low heat, stirring until
smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla.<br />
<br />
Using a small cookie scoop place cookie dough into muffin tins filling the cup 1/2 way to the top. Spread
1 tsp of the chocolate mixture evenly over the top of each cup, and dot each cup with the remaining oat
mixture.<br />
<br />
Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool completely, then remove from pans.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Removing them from the pans can be tricky, just wait for them to cool and use a knife to ease up the edges and then twist them out. You can use muffin liners if you want too, but I prefer to ease them out of the pans so people can see the wonderful marbled look of the cookie cups! <br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I had
the opportunity to bake for 7 days in an industrial size kitchen at the summer
camp I have been teaching theatre at for the past 10 years! It was SO much fun!
I had to bake for over 120 people for three meals a day! So it was time to bust
out the recipes that I have been collecting from my favorite bloggers over the
past year! These muffins were a HUGE success! People went on and on about them,
loved the crumb topping and kept asking me for the recipe! I was able to
multiple my recipe by 8 with no problems with the science what-so-ever!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Mini M&M Cookie Cupcakes <br />
<br />
THESE ARE SO PRETTY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with the basic chocolate chip cookie recipe from <b><a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/Original-NESTL%C3%89-TOLL-HOUSE-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/detail.aspx" target="_blank">Nestle Toll-House</a></b><br />
The recipe makes 48 mini cupcakes<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I set the temperature for my oven to 350 degrees </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and baked them in a mini cupcake pan for 10 minutes<br />
Be sure to generously spray the pans with a non-stick spray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only changes I made to the recipe were adding 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I used 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of Mini M&M'S </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>For the Buttercream frosting:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 sticks of butter (softened)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2-3 Tbsp. of Milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 Cups of Powdered Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Tsp. of Vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 Tsp. of Salt (which I did not use because I used salted butter)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cream together butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slowly add in other ingredients</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
use milk to keep your frosting smooth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pipe frosting on cupcakes and top with additional Mini M&M's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
