Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cupcakes

What do you buy to celebrate the birthday of someone who doesn't really like cake? 

A cupcake in his favorite flavors! 

To appease his wife, he agreed to have cupcakes. Hey, at least you can put a candle on top and lick the icing only, if you don't particularly want to eat the cake... YUM! 

I made chocolate cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting and crumbled frozen peanut butter cups on top of the icing. 

---------------------------------
I found a great Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe on www.evilshenanigans.com


I used: 

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups powdered/confectioner's sugar

1/4 cup milk (at least), depending how creamy you want it

I hope he enjoyed eating them as much as I enjoyed making them.
