Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting

These are crazy good, there is just no other way to put it. A rich chocolate brownie, in cupcake form, stuffed with peanut butter cups and peanut butter and topped with peanut butter buttercream frosting. Excessive? Yes. Delicious? Beyond.

The only thing better than a brownie is one that is frosted and stuffed.

Why hello there. Have we met?

Making these decadent treats is easy. It’s the same process that I used for these brownie cupcakes. I freeze my peanut butter cups prior to baking. You can use any brownie mix or recipe you like (or heck, make them as cupcakes with actual cake – it’s all about being flexible!).

I put some brownie batter in each of my cupcake liners, followed by a peanut butter cup and about a spoonful of peanut butter. Then I topped it all with more brownie batter and baked.

After baking and cooling, it’s time for peanut butter buttercream frosting, which might be one of the most wonderful things on earth.

For my frosting, I used the same recipe that I used for my peanut butter ball stuffed cupcakes. You can find it here.

Peanut butter and chocolate really are a match made in dessert Heaven.

    How long do you freeze the peanut butter cups?

      I usually throw them in the freezer about 30 minutes before I start making the recipe. They don’t need to be frozen solid, just making sure they are cold helps them from melting while baking.

      I usually throw it in before I start making them. You just want to chill them enough to help prevent them from melting while baking.
