Love chocolate? Me too! Love peanut butter? Me too! Love them together? Oh yes!!! This weekend I whipped up double chocolate peanut butter filling cupcakes and I couldn’t put them down!
And what’s better, this double chocolate peanut butter filling cupcake recipe is semi-homemade. Yep. I started with a box! {grin}
Here are the packaged items you’ll need:
- Your own chocolate cupcake recipe, or a box of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Cake Mix with additives
- Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Icing
And for the from scratch peanut butter filling (yields enough for 24 cupcakes), you’ll need:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted
- 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
And the easy how to steps:
- Prep cake batter, set aside
- Mix all ingredients for peanut butter filling until smooth
- Layer cake batter, peanut butter filling, cake batter, peanut butter filling, and end with cake batter in cupcake baking cups.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 16 minutes based on your oven and elevation.
- Allow to cool, ice with fudge icing, serve.
I promise, your guests, your family, your co-workers, they will all be in cupcake heaven!
