Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Frosting

These Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Frosting are the perfect summer treat! 

Light and airy cupcakes loaded with fresh strawberries, then topped with a chocolate hazelnut frosting that's 

whipped to perfection. What could be better?

I'm a huge peanut butter lover and Peanut Butter & Co. is my absolute favorite brand. With varieties like White Chocolate Wonderful, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, and Mighty Maple, I'm sure you understand why.  You can only imagine my excitement when I heard about their new product, Chocmeister, a delicious chocolaty hazelnut spread. Chocmeister is made with 25% less sugar and more protein than the leading brand of chocolate hazelnut spreads. I recently got my hands on a jar of the Chocmeister Milk Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread and haven't looked back!

This spread is fabulous on toast, spooned over ice cream, and on fruit. Lately I've been adding a little dollop to my strawberries for an afternoon snack! As a member of the Peanut Butter & Co. Yum Squad, I was tasked with creating a fun recipe to share with you all. Since I'm a passionate baker, I knew I wanted to make a delicious dessert, which is exactly what I did. 

Orange Hazelnut Cookies

These deliciously crispy hazelnut cookies are hinted with orange and ginger and are definitely gift worthy!

I'm super excited to be participating in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap again this year!  This is the 5th annual swap, and my 3rd year to participate. It's seriously one of my favorite things about the holiday season! The swap partnered up with Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer. I love being able to get in the kitchen and bake AND support this great cause! 

The swap is simple – I baked 3 dozen cookies to send to three of my fellow food bloggers (one dozen to each), and in return I received one dozen cookies from 3 other food bloggers! I got Peppermint Pinwheels from Michele of Alwayz Bakin', Peppermint Pretzel Toffee Bark from Erica of Nommable, and Double Chocolate Cookies from Jessica of Jessica is Baking. Every single one was amazing, and my family loved them all!
