Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cupcakes

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, peanut butter, oil and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes or until smooth.
• Fill paper-lined muffin cups half full. Place a peanut butter cup in the center of each cupcake. Cover each with 1 tablespoonful batter.
• Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
• Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in peanut butter. Cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature or until mixture reaches a spreading consistency, about 10 minutes.
• Spread over cupcakes; immediately sprinkle with additional peanut butter cups. Let stand until set.
