As promised, here is the recipe of the cupcakes I made for my hubby to bring to work for this birthday. They were quite a hit, so enjoy!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 Box chocolate cake mix, prepared as directed on box -- optional: add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels into batter to make cupcakes extra chocolatey! (makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes, 20-22 large cupcakes)
1-1.5 cups smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup shortening (i.e. Crisco)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp water
5 Tbsp milk, more if needed for smoother frosting consistency
20-24 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups (optional)
Directions:
Prepare cake mix as directed on box instructions. As mentioned, you can add about 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate morsels into the batter to make it extra chocolatey. Bake cupcakes in cupcake pans lined with cupcake liners (about 1/4 cup of batter per cupcake). For the frosting, combine shortening, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, water, vanilla and milk in a bowl and mix using a mixer until the consistency is smooth and creamy. Frost cupcakes (I used a Ziplock bag and cut the tip) and top with a miniature Reese's peanut butter cup. Enjoy! :-d~~
