Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

Ok, So here are the birthday cupcakes that I made for my friend. Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes. They came out like a devils food cake. Probably because I left them in the oven a little to long. Don't know.

I got this recipe off of cupcakesrecipes.com.

They were fun to make at 6 am. But not do not boil water while you are trying to make these. I don't know why I was boiling water. I think I wanted to add something to the top and needed to make my own double boiler. Either way I have not clue.

My pics as you can see aren't the greatest. I bounce from using my camera phone to using my new camera. Its not the greatest thing since sliced bread. But It gets the job done. LOL.

I used peanut butter as the icing. It was just too much pb for me and the birthday chick LOL.

She threw an idea at me. So I am going to try it maybe not this week or the next but it is an idea all the same.

Trying to make these while the kids are getting ready for school was an adventure. They like to eat them while they are still hot. Maybe that is why I keep baking in the morning. Easy breakfast for picky eaters. LOL.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If desired, line cupcake pans with paper liners. You may also spray cupcake pas with a butter and flour combination spray that can be found in your local grocery store.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds while scraping bowl. Mix at high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl every minute.

Spoon cupcake batter into liners until they are 1/2 to 2/3 full. You should have enough batter for 24-36 cupcakes.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes in pans then move to wire rack to cool completely.

Frost anyway you choose.

My friend's idea was to use Pb, marshmallow fluff, and cream cheese.

I don't know its just an idea right now but I will figure out equations an the how much Later.
