Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting



Nothing is better to me than chocolate and peanut butter together! Mmmm...

Makes 24 cupcakes

1 box chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients according to box
peanut butter and chocolate morsels
cupcake baking cups

Make chocolate cake mix according to directions. Place a 24 baking cups in cupcake pans. Put about 4-5 morsels into the middle of each cupcake and poke down into batter. Bake according to directions. Let cool on wire racks.

This is Ina Garten's Frosting recipe. So delicious! This makes a lot of frosting, but I like to pile my cupcakes up with it! You can freeze the rest if you don't use all of it.

Peanut Butter Frosting:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup heavy cream

Cream together sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in mixer. Add heavy cream to it at the end to make it light and smooth. Put in piping bag with favorite decorating tip and pipe onto each cupcake. Use chopped peanuts or chocolate sprinkles to garnish.
