"Hi everybody! I'm Lauren Taylor at the Baker's Corner on behalf of Expert Village. Thank you for joining me today for our chocolate peanut butter surprise cupcakes. Now, when you hear the word surprise, that sounds scary and kind of generic almost. There really is a surprise in the center of the cupcake. My 2 favorite things to put together in this world are chocolate and peanut butter. In my book, that just means perfection right there. These cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes, which I have 2 secret ingredients in the cupcakes, in the cake parts themselves. They're going to be so moist, you'll want to eat them just by themselves. If you're anything like me, that's not normal, but trust me, they're going to be fantastically moist cupcakes. There's going to be a surprise in the center of that. We're going to put in a peanut butter cup in the center of the cupcake for a little surprise when you bite into it. I know, it's already sounding amazing. Then on top, we're going to have a very light whipped peanut butter frosting with just a little bit of chocolate in that too. Can't go wrong with that. All over it's great. Every bite has great flavor, lots of chocolate and peanut butter in every single bite. This frosting is great by itself. The cupcakes are great by itself. I could just eat a million of the little Reese's peanut butter cups that are going in the center of them. Fantastic cupcakes. Let's get started."
