Now, for the foodage... The Master Baker event is coming around again, and the theme for this turn is Easter Candy! With the abundance of half-price Peeps, Mini Eggs and jelly beans out there though, I figured I would go a bit more upscale with my use of an Easter gift from one of my friends, Georgiana: coconut cream truffles!

Since they're quick and simple to whip off for a snack emergency, I figured what better to do for Master Baker than a fancified muffin, centered with the decadent truffle? Well, taking my basic vanilla muffin mix, I added some coconut shreds, coconut extract and chopped peanuts before shoving one of the rich dark chocolate morsels in the centre of each muffin cup. 20 minutes at 400F later and voila, Coco-Peanut Trufflekins!
