Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

 

Peanut Butter Cup cupcakes – YUM!  Here is a quick easy recipe for a delicious treat.  If  you like chocolate and peanut butter together, you are going to love these cupcakes.  

 

Ingredients for cupcake

1 dark chocolate cake mix – I use Duncan Hines Butter Fudge

1 package of dark chocolate chips 

1 box of chocolate instant pudding mix

4 eggs

1 stick of butter

3/4 cup of milk

Mix ingredients together, line pan with paper liners  and bake according to box instructions. 

 

Peanut Butter Icing

1 stick of butter

1/2 C crisco

4 cups of powdered sugar

1/2 to 1 C of peanut butter – I do this more by taste than measurement.

 

Cream butter and crisco together until smooth.  Add in powdered sugar 1/2 C at a time and mix well.  Add in peanut butter to taste. 

 

After cupcakes have cooled, pipe icing on using a ziplock baggie with a corner cut out or you can use a icing bag and large round tip.  I usually just use the baggie, easy clean up.  Drizzle chocolate sauce over cupcake and add a few honey roasted peanuts to the top.  Serve with milk.
