Bloody Red Raspberry and Chocolate Velvet Cupcake
Halloween is nearly here and it's always fun to get a little festive. Although I'm a fan of balance, I definitely think it's important to be mindful of what you're getting yourself into with sugary sweet Halloween treats. Lorna Jane Clarkson shared her Bloody Red Raspberry & Chocolate Velvet Cupcake recipe with me and I'm hooked on this healthy Halloween treat!
