  1. These are OMG delicious! I actually got 16 very nice sized cupcakes out of the recipe. I frosted them with recipe #89207, done with the medium chocolate version. I used smooth peanut butter as that is what I had on hand. Have a glass of cold milk ready when you eat these.
     
  2. Mmmmm these were AWESOME! more like a soft brownie than a cupcake. Definitely will make these again....thanks!
     
  3. These were absolutely delicious and disappeared in record time. My kids, who don't eat peanut butter, munched away quite happily without complaint. I added 100g of dark chocolate which I chopped into chunks as well for a truly decadent experience.
     
  4. These had a wonderful peanut-butter flavor and just the right amount of chocolate to balance. The texture was a little dense, almost a cross of muffin and cake. We topped these with chocolate frosting. A big glass of cold milk is a must!! Made for 123 Tag.
     
  5. Wow, these cupcakes are amazing. They have such great peanut butter flavor - it actually sticks to the roof of your mouth just like when you eat peanut butter by itself. It is delicious and sure to be any peanut-butter lover's favorite cupcake. It does taste just like Reese's chocolate. The only thing is that mine were kind of flat on top - maybe my baking powder is out-of-date. They still tasted wonderful, though! I frosted them with "Recipe#89207", which made just the perfect amount for 12 cupcakes.
