Wednesdays have officially become movie night. Movie night started after I was obsessively talking about my love for actor Paul Dano to my friend Jason, who may quite possibly love film even more than I do. When he asked what I thought of Dano in There Will Be Blood and I mentioned that I hadn’t seen it, a beautiful weekly tradition was born. Wednesday nights I go to Jason’s apartment and we gather his other roommates to have “Family Dinner”, watch a movie I have never seen, and bake something. I really, really wanted to make these cupcakes for them last week, and then found out they all hate Almond Joys. It was devastating. (Luckily, they all enjoyed the s’mores cupcakes I brought instead.) Hopefully you love Almond Joys more than the boys do, because I really wanted to share this easy recipe with you today.
