Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Our Double Trouble Cupcake
Peanut butter and chocolate= perfect combination

Peanut butter frosting recipe:
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Reeses' peanut butter cups (optional)

1. Beat butter and peanut butter in large bowl, until it is light and fluffy.
2. Beat in 2 cups of the powdered sugar.
3. Mix in half of the whipping cream.
4. Beat in the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar.
5. Add more cream if necessary to reach the right consistency.

Note: Be careful not to over-beat the peanut butter and butter mixture.  It's tempting to keep beating to achieve a smooth consistency, but you will need to add some powdered sugar to reach the consistency that you're looking for. It is important that the butter is at room temperature.

This recipe is good for 1 dozen cupcakes, or a double layer 9-inch cake.
We doubled the recipe for 2 dozen cupcakes and it was really creamy and delicious!

Happy Halloween!
