Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, in chunks
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken up
1/2 granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 powdered sugar
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (get the kid's stuff)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 and line a standard cupcake tin with papers.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Put butter and chocolate in a bowl over boiling water and stir until melted. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk into chocolate mixture the granulated sugar.
  • Add eggs, and stir until smooth. Add vanilla.
  • Lastly, stir in flour mixture.
  • In a separate bowl make the peanut butter mixture by combining all ingredients and stirring until smooth.
  • Assemble cupcakes by spooning in 2 T of the chocolate batter into each cup.
  • Follow this with 1 T of peanut butter.
  • Repeat with 1 T of chocolate batter and then 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
  • Swirl the batter with a toothpick before baking for 30 minutes or until the point where a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  • No frosting necessary here. (Or so I'm told!).
