Treats for the Kid in all of Us!
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of interest in recipes that combine the best of childhood: chocolate and peanut butter. In fact, my recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes has gone viral, with over 30,000 page views! And if you really love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, be sure to check out this decadent recipe for Reese's Cheesecake Brownies.
Without further ado, I bring you a third variation on this unbeatable flavor combo: Cupcakes. Garnished with chocolate chips, you (and your kids) will plough through these in no time. For simplicity's sake, I like to use a good boxed chocolate cake mix for the cupcakes. Here's the frosting recipe.
"The perfect fluffy frosting for brownies or chocolate cake.Ingredients
Sweet but not too sweet. Peanut buttery but not greasy."
—All Recipes.com
• 1/2 cup butter, softened• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric hand-held mixer or stand mixer. Gradually add the sugar. When mixture starts to get thick, incorporate the milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable. To make the frosting fluffy, beat it for at least 3 minutes. Spread or pipe icing onto your cupcakes. Yield: 2 cups.
