High Heel Cupcakes for my Boss' Birthday

For my boss' birthday I decided to make cupcakes I could bring in for everyone at the jewelry store.  I made these high heel cupcakes using Milano cookies, pretzel sticks, and a whole lot of homemade cream cheese and chocolate frosting.
For Cake:
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup boiling water
8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Stir the sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Put the cut up chocolate in a large mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over it.  Let stand for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.  Whisk in the butter, then the eggs, whisking after each addition until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla and sour cream.
Whisk in the flour and sugar mixture in 3 separate additions, whisking until smooth after each.
Divide the batter equally.   Bake the cupcakes until they are well risen and feel firm when pressed in the center with a fingertip, about 20 minutes.

Peanut Butter Apple Dip

Okay I eat this multiple times a week because it's literally so good!  I use Justin's Peanut Butter (vanilla or honey or whatever flavor you want, I've even tried almond butter which works great too), organic Stonyfield plain yogurt, and just a touch of honey!  Than I mix it all up and dip apples in it, and sometimes eat it just with a spoon because that's how good it is.  It's simple, healthy, and taste great!  Literally my go to snack whenever I'm home. I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, the cliche trying to 'get healthier' and be healthier.  I'm not looking so much for weight loss, even though that's an added plus, but what I really want is to finally tone up.  My entire life I've always killed myself with cardio and would wonder why I never looked that great.  Well now I know why, so that's my goal, get healthier and leaner.
