I know! Sounds delicious, right?! I mean two great ideas merged into one!  I found the recipe on a few different sites but copied the one that was easiest to post. Pinch of Yum's looked tasty and with pictures! These are cupcakes from Very Best Baking that looked interesting.

I decided to use Kitchen Simple's Layered Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies. And oh my they were so delicious!
