Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

I didn't have any luck finding a peanut butter-filled chocolate cupcake (my two favorite flavors), so I made my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and experimented with the filling until I found one I liked. —Julie Small, Claremont, New Hampshire

 Does anyone know if you can make these in a regular cupcake pan?

Could this filling be used with a boxed cake mix?

This sure sounds good I'm going to try it this week-end.

Tks.

wow 500 calories in one cupcake!

Going on a trip.so I willmake them to travel with. Thank you. With an allergy to peanut butter I'll make up a butterscoth creamy mixture to fill them.

1 cup!! cocoa total for both cake and frosting. Wow! don't eat this before going to bed - you won't sleep!

Just made these. I used 2 regular muffin tins (24 cupcakes) and had a 1/2 cup batter left over. They baked in 25 minutes, I was a little worried they would run over but they didn't. The batter was VERY thin. They did not rise very much above the tin, despite my filling them 3/4 full. I used heavy cream instead of milk in the frosting. I had my doubts as I was making them but they turned out great. These are the best home made cupcakes I've ever made.

My husband doesn't care for cupcakes so I usually convert your recipes to a 9 x 13 pan. That's what I did this time too, just placing the filling by tablespoons full evenly over the top of the cake after the batter was in the pan. It turned out perfectly. He and everyone else who tasted it were crazy about it. In fact he even grumbled saying, "you gave too much of it away". I think that I baked it for 30 minutes or untill it tested done.

My husband enjoys peanut butter so I thought the cupcake would be ideal. Instead of one cupcake tin full I had two plus extra dough. I believe there was too much liquid in this recipe and the dough did not rise at all. Flavor was very good but the mess..........never again. Did I do something wrong? Moomie11

 

I am sure you can make these with a regular size pan. I made these yesterday 9-16-08, with a texas sized pan and we could hardly finish them, they were so big and dry. Of course I was trying to cut down on the calories so I made them with out the frosting! I think next time I will make them smaller! I hope this helps you.

I seemed to have the same problem: way too much dough for 12 cupcakes as the recipe indicates. Mine rose, but the peanut butter wasn't so much in the cupcake as on it. Great taste, though.
