I just made these cupcakes today. They are really easy to make and just as good. They taste a lot like blond brownies, they are so fluffy and moist! They looked exactly like the picture- will make again.

I made these for a bake sale because they didn't need frosting. I followed the recipe exactly, but the peanut butter cup sank to the bottom of the cupcake, so I had to frost them anyway. They tasted great, but did not look like the picture at all.

These are so good! These taste like a big, soft peanut butter cookie with a Reese's in it. This is a great way to use up that Halloween candy, too. My family loved these and my kids ask for these in their lunch boxes. I did not like them as much while they were still warm, but much better after they cooled for a long time. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

I baked these for my college grandson and his swim team. I made 50+ and my carrier came back empty. The kids loved them.
