You home will smell unbelievable while these beans “bake” in your slow cooker. The tangy-sweet aroma will waft through the air, tempting your taste buds to sneak a taste before they’re even done. And by all means, take as many taste tests as you please. Just make sure no one is looking when you do!

A couple of years ago I went to the Improv to see a comedian perform. My date ordered dessert before the show. Banana caramel cheesecake bites I think they were called. At the time, he had no idea I didn’t much care for bananas. So, to be nice, I ate one. Much to my surprise, I absolutely loved it! These cupcakes were inspired from that dessert.
