Remember a few months ago when I posted these fantabulous cupcakes made with the most delicious combination in the world?
They’ve become one of the most popular recipes on How Sweet It Is and I have to say… sometimes I make them for myself. And myself only. I’m selfish.
I’m sharing the step-by-step photos + recipe on Tasty Kitchen, and if you want to be a cool kid, you’ll get on top of it and make this recipe today.
And then… you actually probably will get on top of this. Sorry.
Check out the step-by-step on Tasty Kitchen. There’s lots of chocolate…







I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
Must. Eat. Cupcakes. Now.

I’d been craving a cupcake for almost a month until finally having one at a bridal shower yesterday. I thought it was a satisfied craving and then I saw these. You’re killing me! ;)

There are no words. There really needs to be something invented that allows you to pull things out of your computer screen and eat them!

Combination of peanut butter and chocolate is always a hit.
We LOVE cupcakes in my house!
It’s the top pick dessert over everything I bake.

I didn’t see these when you posted them last. But I’m so glad I see them now. I think I could make that entire batch of peanut butter icing on its own and eat that!

These look wonderful! Did you use a tip for the frosting or was it just an ice cream scoop?

LOVE these cupcakes, cant wait to try them! Is there anyway you could do a tutorial on how to frost the cupcakes the way you do? I love the simplicity. Thanks! :)

how much hot fudge does the recipe make? if i double the cupcakes would i need to make more?
Reply
best combination ever! now i just need a reason to make these super delicious cupcakes! back-to-school cupcakes two weeks early? sounds like a plan!

Can you store them for a day or two with the hot fudge over the top? Fridge?? Or best to apply right before serving? They look amazing!

Oh yes! I store them for a few days with the hot fudge! You want the hot fudge to be cool, not hot.

These chocolatey treats are in the oven as I type! Good golly these are so tasty in the raw! The frosting is creamy yummy easy! Taking them to work tomorrow at the kitchen store tomorrow! Nothing is better than peanut butter and a deep rich chocolate combined in a dessert no less!

After I saw this recipe, I HAD TO make these. So I made the boyfriend drive me to the store to get these ingredients. And then I ate three. I have issues. Thanks for this amazing recipe! The peanut butter buttercream is DEFINITELY what makes this!
