The frosting was all homemade though. A chocolate/peanut butter ganache buttercream. SOOO GOOD!
I won't bother to give you a chocolate cupcake recipe since everyone has one they love I'm sure, but the recipe for the icing is here.
Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips/wafers (bittersweet preferably)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 cup peanut butter, smooth
Powdered sugar (no amount, just add a bit at a time till you get that desired sweetness)
Recipe:
Heat heavy cream till simmer and remove from heat.
Pour over chocolate chips and wait 2 minutes.
Whisk together till combined and then add peanut butter and mix until you have a silky looking sauce, chill for 1 hour.
Combine butter in a mixer or use a hand mixer and beat until soft and creamy.
Add some powdered sugar till slightly sweet, (remember you still have chocolate to add!)
Add the ganache and mix until slightly lightened in colour, about 30 seconds or so.

This looks absolutely delicious!! YUM!
That sounds incredibly good and is exactly what I've been looking for. How many cupcakes will it frost? Two dozen?
Looks delicious!
It will frost 2 dozen cupcakes, though I am a liberal froster so maybe more.
Those Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes look lovely! I'm a big fan of Cupcake baking too. I made some
'Dark Chocolate and Avocado Cupcakes earlier, the recipe is here if you want to make your own - http://bit.ly/8yHGnw, they taste great and I'll definitely be using the recipe again.
These look like they are to die for! I just finished baking chocolate/peanut butter brownies, so I must try these next! Hubby and I are huge fans of chocolate and peanut butter together.
beautiful!
The Bakery Network stopping by to say, these look great and sound even better. Being a lover of chocolate and anything that goes with it, I'll give these a try and let you know.
Cheers, TBN
