These easy peanut butter cups are so easy and scrumptious!
Hello Friends!
It has been several years since I first made these and shared them on the blog so to celebrate the weekend, I thought I would share these with you since some of you may have missed then the first time. They are a wonderful cupcake dessert for a picnic or any day and they are worth making – trust me!
These Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes are nice when you want some peanut butter and chocolate goodness in your life.
And who doesn’t want that?
I used a devil’s food cake mix from a box and made a peanut butter frosting. I usually make my frosting from scratch because I really like the taste and it is worth the extra few minutes to make.
Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes
1 package chocolate or devil’s food cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
Bake chocolate or devil’s food cupcakes according to package directions. While the cupcakes are baking, make this frosting. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
Peanut Butter Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
Cream butter with an electric mixer and slowly add powdered sugar. Add peanut butter and milk. Whip until smooth and creamy. Frost cupcakes after cupcakes have cooled.
I added a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup and sprikles to the top. These are really good when you are watching TV or pretty much for any time.
These cupcakes make The Voice that much better. Do you watch any of the singing competition shows on TV?
These look so yummy! I really just want to make the peanut butter frosting and eat it by the spoonful, lol! 😉
He he – I know what you mean Carrie! 🙂
You can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter! Looks fantastic Raquel!
Thanks Tanya – yes it is one of my favorite combos. Pretty much anything with chocolate! 🙂
Raquel – I am loving the Voice this season too! The cupcakes look amazing for any day of the week but I am partial to Friday nights 🙂 Also, Adam is cute…but I’m an Usher girl myself 😉
Can’t wait to give these a try…they look great!
Thanks Corinna!
Thanks Corinna – I hope you try them, they are really tasty!
Raquel, these cupcakes look so delicious! I love chocolate & PB combination.
I watch the American Idol if it’s on when I’m visiting my bff because the are addicted to all the singing show 🙂
Oh I like that show too Bibi! Do you have a favorite contestant?
You had me at peanut butter 😉
The next time I see you i want to talk to you a bit about frostings, etc. I want to begin playing around with making some of my own combinations. Have a feeling you’d have a lot of input =)
Yes for sure Jamie! Hope your weekend is great and so excited to see you next week :)!
Those look so good!
Thank you!
My daughter religiously watches The Voice, too…in fact, even my hubby has caught on to the judges’ names! She is the peanut butter cup lover in the family…so The Voice AND these marvelous cupcakes would make her day!
Sounds like you have a wonderful daughter Liz – the cupcakes and show make a great combination! 🙂
Wow! These look great Raquel! Will I be seeing you again soon so I can grab a few of these from you? That would be great!! My bday is coming up in less than 28 days… hahaha Mmmkkkk thanks!! 😉

I LOVED the first season of The Voice! But I just can’t do reality TV anymore. But what I CAN do are these cupcakes. PB and chocolate are soul mates. Totally.
LOL! Thanks for stopping Rachel! I’m kind of a talent reality show groupie 🙂
