Delicious and easy peasy!! A definite "keeper".Just a tip: The frosting doesn't stay well in heat as it melts easily. Try another recipe for a summer picnic :)

I made the frosting only. It was fabulous! I made mini white cupcakes and frosted them with this recipe and topped them off with a raspberry! I took them to a ladies coffee and dessert night at church. They were so cute and yummy! I know I'll use this frosting recipe again and again. Thanks!

Made these for my daughter's birthday party and her guests loved them! I, too, liked the peanut butter and chocolate combination (think Reese's peanut butter cups!)...and the peanut butter is subtle, not overpowering. This recipe is getting filed in my recipe box!

These cupcakes were delicious, with an added feature of being SO easy. The cupcakes had a wonderful, moist texture, with the perfect amount of peanut butter taste; not overwhelming. The chocolate frosting is also easy to prepare, and delicious! Will make these again and again; a big hit with my family!
