These are beyond amazing!! Probably one of the best cupcakes I have ever had!! My 15 year-old daughter LOVES Cupcake Wars, so she is always trying new recipes. I think the only reason anyone would complain is if they didn't use REAL butter! I have to say this is a keeper and will be made over and over again in this family! With four brothers, my daughter has plenty of taste testers and this one passed with flying colors!! LOVE IT!!

I really liked these cupcakes, I didn't have enough creamy peanut butter to put it in both the batter and the frosting, so I used chunky in the batter and creamy in the frosting. Would be better with creamy in both but they were still really good. Loved the frosting, had to add a little more powdered sugar and milk to get the consistancy I wanted but I love it!

Hopefully next time I can make them a little less dry?

Was disappointed with this one. Liked the peanut buttery cupcake, but the frosting is just "so-so". Nothing I'd make again.

The mixture of peanut butter & cinnamon was delicious. The smell reminded me of christmas. I didn't make the frosting but the cupcakes by themselves were awesome.

Too STRONG in peanut butter flavor. It was my daughter who made these for us and she always does well with things like this, but these had WAY to much peanut butter flavor--I expected it to be airy and light creamy flavor otherwise I would eat a pb sandwich or pb cookie! If you want a load of PB flavor these will do the trick if you want a light airy creamy PB flavor I would try something else...

Our family absolutely loved these cupcakes! The icing worked so well with the cupcake. Since I used organic peanut butter, I had to adjust my icing a bit but that was no problem. These will go into our family cookbook.

The only things I changed: didn't add cinnamon in cake batter and in the frosting left out the honey. Other than than that all else remained the same and tasted really Good! Please TOH I would also like to know where I could purchase those cute individual cupcake pedastals, also... Thanx Mucho!
