The cupcakes were SO good I had to get her recipe. Just get your favorite box chocolate cake mix. I used triple chocolate fudge cake from Betty Crocker. Bake the cupcakes as directed on the box. Now, for the frosting...
1/2 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons of milk
In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the confectioner's sugar one cup at a time, mixing the milk in to keep the frosting creamy. If necessary, add a little more milk until the frosting reaches a good spreading consistency.
After piping the frosting on the cooled cupcakes, top it off with a mini peanut butter cup. And eat one fast. Because as soon as others see them, they'll go quick!
Keep them in the fridge, otherwise they'll "sweat". Enjoy!
