Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES

Make a milk chocolate cake mix according to directions except add peanut butter chips to the batter. (I sprinkled them on top of each cupcake so that they wouldn't just sink to the bottom). Bake as directed. Let cool.

Peanut Butter Frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons milk, or as needed

2 cups powdered sugar

Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the sugar. 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.

Top cupcakes with chopped peanut butter cups or mini Reese's pieces.

Enjoy!
