For the Peanut Butter Cupcakes
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup of butter milk
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
For the Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- Reese’s peanut butter cups, cut up and crumbled
The peanut butter cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Line the muffin cups with paper liners
- Put the cake mix in your mixing bowl
- Add in the buttermilk, vegetable, oil, peanut butter and eggs
- Beat until moistened – about 30 seconds
- Increase the speed to high and beat until thick – about another 2 mins
- Fold the heath bar into the batter
- Spoon the mix into the liners filling the cups about 2/3 of the way to the top.
- Bake for 15-20 mins – until a toothpick poked into the cupcake centers comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the baking plans and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Make the frosting
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate at high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until most of the chocolate is melted.
- Stir until completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter at medium speed until pale and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat for 1 minute, scraping down the side of the bowl.
- At low speed, slowly beat in the confectioners’ sugar, about 1 minute.
- Sir in the peanut butter
- Frost the cupcakes and top with the peanut butter cups.
