Cupcakes Ingredients:

  • 24 chocolate cupcakes baked and cooled
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Icing Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

Cupcake Directions:

  • Use an apple corer to cut a divot into the center of each cupcake, about 1/2″ into the cupcake and discard (or snack on later) cake. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add butter, peanut butter and powdered sugar. Beat well. Mixture will be stiff.
  • Use a teaspoon size amount of fudge mixture and shape into a cylinder with your fingers. Press into cupcake. The fudge filling should be level with the top of the cupcake. Repeat until you have all cupcakes filled.
  • Take a small amount of peanut butter fudge mixture and roll it into a 1/2″ ball and place on top of the fudge in the cupcake and gently press it to adhere to the fudge inside. Set aside to frost.

Icing Directions:

  • Add butter, cocoa powder and sugar to a mixer and beat well.
  • Add vanilla and milk and beat until icing is spreadable.
  • Place a 1m tip onto a pastry bag and add icing to bag.
  • Pipe onto each cupcake.
