Growing up we didn’t have store bought treats in the house. When my brothers or I were offered a Little Debbie at a friend’s house, we were all over it.
What we did have at home were amazing homemade desserts every so often, and those most definitely trumped any Little Debbie treat. One of my all-time favorites were Cream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes.
Oh gracious, are these fantastic. My mom got the recipe from a cookbook created
by a Sunday school class at our church, called the Circuit Rider’s
Cookbook.
As a little background, a Circuit Rider was a Methodist minister that would ride on horseback from rural church to rural church to preach the good news.

Well if you know anything about church ladies, you know they
can cook, so this little well-loved cookbook has some real gems in it. You know you have a jackpot recipe when there
are stains all over it!
So what we have here are scrumptious from scratch chocolate
cupcakes that are piped full of creamy deliciousness and then iced with chocolate
fudge icing. Little Debbie would be
ashamed to stand next to them.
We always seem to make them in the fall and top them off
with a candy corn.
