Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Also known as Stacey's birthday cupcakes.


In a flash of inspiration I came up with this idea. I substituted half of the butter in my usual icing recipe with smooth peanut butter. I then smeared it on my chocolate cupcakes and sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles. Pretty and delicious. The icing doesn't have the same consistency as regular icing and so it doesn't pipe from a piping bag as well, but the taste is fantastic.

Here's what I did;
1/4 c butter
1/4 c peanut butter
wee splash of vanilla
2 cups of icing sugar (about)
splash of milk (as needed)

Mixed it all up in my stand up mixer. I played around with the consistency a bit-you know, a little more milk, a little more icing sugar.
