My family just loves these cupcakes, especially the subtle taste of peanut butter in the frosting. Chocolate frosting is equally delicious on top. —Alyce Wyman, Pembina, North Dakota

1/4 cup chunky peanut butter added to cake mix batter, combines flavors well with the peanut butter cups in center.

Great for peanut butter lovers, we also added a few chopped peanuts on top to give a hint of what the cupcakes were for our crowd.
