Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) devil's food cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 cup cold milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/4 cup PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.
Prepare cake batter and bake in 24 paper-lined muffin cups as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool 30 min. (Do not cool completely. Cupcakes still need to be warm when filled.)
Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Add peanut butter; mix well. Spoon into small freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Snip off one corner from bottom of bag. Insert tip of bag into center of each cupcake, then pipe about 1 Tbsp. pudding mixture into cupcake.
Microwave COOL WHIP and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 min. Dip tops of cupcakes in COOL WHIP mixture; sprinkle with nuts.
