How to Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

I love cupcakes and I love chocolate and peanut butter. Here is one of my favorites, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. I made them for Father's Day this year and they were a hit.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Box chocolate cake mix
• Miniature chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups powder sugar
• Cupcake liners

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   Make the cake mix as directed on box with eggs, oil and water. Add in 1 cup of miniature chocolate chips.

2. Fill each cup in a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners. You should get about 24 cupcakes from the recipe.

3. Bake cupcakes according to directions on cake mix box.

4. Make frosting. First, cream butter and peanut butter on high with a mixer. After mixture becomes light and fluffy, add milk and powder sugar. Mix slowly until sugar is all mixed in then turn speed up to high and mix again until fluffy.

5. Once the cupcakes are done and completely cooled, transfer frosting to a quart size freezer bag. Cut on corner off the bag to make a small opening to frost the cupcakes.
   Be sure the cupcakes are completely cool or the frosting will melt right off of them!

6. Frost all cupcakes and then sprinkle with more miniature chocolate chips for decoration. Enjoy!!!
