24 chocolate cupcakes (made from scratch or a mix)
peanut butter frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
5 Tbsp butter; room temp
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup heavy cream or milk
Place first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and mix on medium low speed until creamy. Add the cream or milk and beat on high speed until light and smooth.
I wish I could say that I made the cupcakes from scratch. I can say that I attempted to make a fabulous "from scratch" recipe, but they bombed. That's another story for another day...
This recipe is of course, another Barefoot Contessa winner (if you don't have any of her cookbooks, go buy one...or ALL of them!) It is amazing. Top the cupcakes with chopped peanuts or crushed up peanut butter cups and oh my!
