It’s that time again! It’s been a while since I’ve shared a good cupcake recipe so I figured it would be the perfect time to share this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes recipe with you.
I’m pretty proud of theses Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes don’t just look like they taste amazing, they taste fabulous. Generally I would give these cupcakes to my neighbors but this time, I gave them to someone who had helped my sister out. She’s been having a tough period, and I’m grateful to her friend. We all need someone some time and for certain things we need someone away from the family. It’s important to have someone you can turn to when you need to.
It’s a defiant plus that you may be able to do it over a cupcake because your sister is a crazy woman and loves to bake and give it away lol. It’s the only way I can keep myself from getting into it. I do keep a few for the family but mostly try to get them out of the house before anyone finds out they are in the house.
Anyway enough about my neighbors, sister and who go the cupcakes this go around. Let’s get to talking about the recipe so you can get started on your own cupcakes.
Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
I hope you and your family enjoy the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes as much as we do. Remember, if you’re like me and don’t want them sitting around the house in fear you might eat them all, give them to family and friends as a quick little way to say thanks.
Hey, a good cupcake goes a long way whether you are saying thanks or welcoming new people to the neighborhood.
