chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting
I have been craving peanut butter everything lately. I decided to incorporate peanut butter into a cupcake form. And what better way to do that than to combine two of the greatest flavors: chocolate and peanut butter? It’s absolutely magical and delicious.
Bake your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and then make this frosting:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Directions
- Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the sugar, and when it starts to get thick, incorporate milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable. Beat for at least 3 minutes for it to get good and fluffy.
These really look delicious and who can resist the chocolate and peanut butter combo. This is my first visit to your blog, so I took a little extra time to browse through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. You've created a great spot for your readers to visit and I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
These cupcakes look delicious and so easy to make. I cook it with little difference. Added dairy milk chocolate and creams in middle after 30% baking. So delicious and testy dish.
Looks deeeee-lish, Betty! Actually, all your recipes do. I really want to try that brownie with crushed peanut butter Oreos!
