Here is my third flavor of cupcakes that I took to our Corvette Club Picnic this summer. These were super peanut buttery good!

Yum! What decadent cupcakes! Love chocolate and peanut butter, they look delicious! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm yum. I like how heavy on the peanut butter these cupcakes are. So many similar recipes contain so little the flavour is too diluted.
ReplyDeleteWe will be making these for Christmas! Thanks for posting, looks delicious!
