Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

Today was my friend Kathy's 60th birthday.

She doesn't read my blog , so I'm not worried about sharing that info :)

She loves sweets of any kind and especially chocolate.

I made supper for her and her son and knew the perfect dessert to serve.

I found this recipe a few weeks ago at The Little Kitchen .

And pinned it to my Cupcake Board .

I have have made them three times in the last couple weeks.

They are absolutely EVERY ONE'S favorite !

My son said there is no reason to make any other kind of cupcake !

Before I "pin" a recipe ,

I follow the link to make sure it is something I will actually make.

I am a lazy cook ( baker , gardener , decorator , etc. the list goes on and on ),

so if the recipe is too complicated , I'll just pass.

( no matter how delish their pictures look )

I am a semi- homemade kind of cook/baker.

I make homemade soup but am not above using ready made broth.

Same with cakes and cupcakes.

I like simple recipes that start with a box mix and add some special ingredients to make them fantastic !

And these fit the bill perfectly !

The most time consuming part of this recipe is unwrapping all those little peanut butter cups !

Look at that pile of wrappers !

Also , I'm not really one to really follow directions...

For instance ,

you are supposed to fill the cupcake wrappers with 3 tablespoons of batter,

then put the peanut butter cup in .

Did I measure ?

Of course not.

Were they still delish ?

Of course.

They may have been a little bigger ,

( that could be why I only got 26 instead of the 30 the author got )

but my family has never complained about cupcakes being too big !

One important direction you should follow though ,

freeze the peanut butter cups.

I ran short and had to use some that were not frozen,

it didn't affect the flavor ,

but they kind of melted into the cupcake....

I'm not going to post the recipe , cause it's not mine.

I will however continue to make them over and over again.

Unless of course my family pisses me off, then they will have to beg forgiveness to get them again !

Anyway...

Please follow the link for this recipe !

You will not be disappointed !

Promise !
