DH wanted to take peanut butter cupcakes to the office and I only had 1 box of white cake mix on hand. I subbed melted margarine for the veg oil and the cupcakes baked up very pretty with rounded tops! I didn't have a can of frosting on hand so I made sour cream choc frosting, blending in the peanut butter with the sour cream. DH was licking the beaters!

Yum! These were so good! This was a last minute "I'm-craving-chocolate and cake" creation so I only had enough peanut butter on hand for the batter. I used plain chocolate frosting to top off the cupcakes and they were still wonderful! I can't wait to try them again - and next time I'll have enough peanut butter to mix with the frosting! Thanks for sharing!
