Brownies, Reeses Peanutbutter Candies, & Cheesecake. Oh My!

I woke up in a bad mood yesterday.  Then I made the made the most decadent dessert I could think of; a  brownie topped with peanut butter cheesecake topped with chocolate ganache and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.  I think my thighs inched a bit closer after eating this, but I did feel a whole lot better.  The powers of chocolate and peanut butter never cease to amaze me.

It also works well as a cupcake...

 I got the recipe here: pipandebby.com  I didn't add the reeses pieces to the cheesecake, and I used a bit more cream in the ganache.

Burger Cupcakes

I have made these several times in the past year or so.  I made them for a company picnic, my friend's birthday that has a thing for cheeseburger anything, and for Super Bowl Sunday, might even make them again this year for Father's Day.
They are so easy and delicious!  All you need is:

• basic yellow cupcakes cut in half
• brownies, cut in to patty shape using a biscuit cutter or anything handy
• green, red, and yellow frosting.  The red and yellow frosting I just smeared onto cupcake bun and patty for the mustard and ketchup.  I used a leaf tip on a pastry bag for the green, but a sandwich baggy with the corner snipped works just fine.
• sesame seeds
• little bit of water to wet the tops of bun to make the seeds stick
• tooth picks to hold all together and give authentic look

See, so easy and major crowd pleaser.  I think I will make them again soon, but this time add 'fries' on the side out of sugar cookies.
