I didn't have any luck finding a peanut butter-filled chocolate cupcake (my two favorite flavors), so I made my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and experimented with the filling until I found one I liked. —Julie Small, Claremont, New Hampshire

First Off- I am only reviewing the filling!And It is good, Only giving it 4 * b/c I found a way to make EVEN BETTER! I made this 3 x, Once as someone else said & once as recipe is, & then I only had 2oz cream cheese...THE BEST! 1/2 C. Peanut butter + 2oz Cream cheese & a pinch of salt. the rest is the same as recipe called for! DELISH & bakes great inside, this is perfect to get that reese pb cup-cake feel :) Oh, & I froze the leftover filling...but then ate it up like frozen cookie dough. yeah..

These cupcakes are delicious! I did make several modifications: I omitted the water entirely; I added a pinch of sea salt to the filling and the frosting; I doubled the pb in the filling; I used brown sugar instead of white sugar in the filling; I cut the confectioners' sugar by 1/2 cup; I added 2 extra tbsps of cocoa and 2 extra tbsps of milk to the frosting; I whipped the frosting with electirc beaters for a full 15 minutes on med-high; and I mistakenly omitted all of the baking powder in the batter! Even with this oversight, the cupcakes rose a bit, were not dense but were soft and moist. The added sea salt in the filling and frosting resulted in a very Reese's-like flavour. Also, I chilled the filling and rolled it into little balls which made it easier to plop inside the batte and then covered with another spoonful of batter. My husband ate three in a row. I will be making this over and over.

So very good, and thus far a huge hit, even my husband and kids who don't care for sweets liked them! (Very odd as they are quite sweet and rich!)

This cupcake a excellent was easy to make . I only made one change with the frosting it was very very sweet and sugary so i added 5 ozs of cream cheese to the frosting and now it is perfect.

Amazing. Made these for my toddler's second birthday, topped with peanut M&M's. Didn't change a thing. The only reason I don't make these more often, is that I can't stop eating them!

These cupcakes were delicious! I followed the instructions for the batter and made chocolcate cupcakes, not PB ones. Very moist and perfect! I also reduced the amount of confectioner sugar to 1.5 cups. Big hit at home and the office. Let my 11 month old taste test...lets just say, these will be one of the cupcakes for her 1st bday party in January!!
