I have 2 friends who are going into surgery this week… It’s awful watching people you love go through things that you have no control over!…and I can’t even help by bringing them a shake or a cupcake!  All I want to do is just make them some goodies to brighten their spirits (it always works for me!) but no goodies until after surgery.  It’s killing me!  I made sure to let them know that as soon as they can eat again I’m going to dope them up with goodies.:)  And these cupcakes just may be first on my list of things to make!

One of my favorite sweet combinations is peanut butter and chocolate.  Whoever first came up with combining them IS A GENIUS!  We can’t get enough of it at our house. And these cupcakes are perfect for the chocolate/peanut butter lovers in your life!  Honestly, the peanut butter frosting is beyond amazing!  So, just know that when you make these you’ll probably end up eating your weight in frosting…you’ll be lucky if there’s any left for the cupcakes!

    The instructions are a bit confusing – “3.Mix the cake mix with the rest of the cake ingredients until nice and smooth.” – so I followed the instructions on the box. Now I see that there’s sour cream and buttermilk that isn’t talked about in the rest of the recipe – so I guess I goofed. Sigh. And I made 2 boxes of cupcakes for my son’s wedding on Saturday. I only hope these still taste great. (perhaps I’ll scoop out some of the cupcake and add something in the middle….)

      Oh goodness, I’m sorry! Instead of following the recipe on the box you add the rest of the cake ingredients that are listed on my recipe….the eggs, oil, sour cream, buttermilk and vanilla and mix those until smooth. They should still be good, it’ll just be like regular cake mix cupcakes. The frosting is what makes them delicious anyway!:) Sorry about the confusion!
