If you like Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, then you’ll love these. 
Chocolate cuppin’ cakes, with creamy Peanut Butter buttercream frosting. *licks lips*


These are pretty awesome, I have to say. I was gonna top them with Reese’s minis or the small size ones, but I forgot to buy them. Oh well! They’re yummy enough to not need fanciful decorations and such.
I basically just made buttercream frosting, and stirred in a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, I had a recipe for it (see below) but it called for more peanut butter than I had. Which was good, though, cuz I didn’t want them TOO peanut-ty. Taste overload is bad for me. I like it simple. I used the fabulous chocolate cupcake recipe from the previous post. Yum.
Jay is obessed with these because he loves chocolate/peanut butter almost as much as plain vanilla, if not more.

For Easter I made dark chocolate cupcakes topped with this peanut butter buttercream…..AMAZING. Everyone thought the frosting was to-die-for and could have come from an expensize bakery. Great recipe
