When Friend Carol made these, she used vanilla frosting. Later she decided next time she would use a chocolate frosting. Don't you think that would just taste "heavenly".....chocolate peanut butter frosting? In fact you could do that anytime when you used the canned frosting. She served these to a group of us and didn't take pictures along the way for me to share. I think you can follow her directions though.
1 pkg (17 - ox) chocolate cake mix (+ ingredients to make the cake)
18 miniature peanut butter cups
1 can vanilla frosting (could use chocolate if you prefer)
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with paper cup liners.
Mix cake mix according to package directions.
Place 2 tablespoonfuls of batter in each cup.
Place a peanut butter cup on top of batter.
Continue filling the cup til 2/3 rds full.
Bake for 20 minutes.
While cup cakes are cooking on a wire rack, prepare the frosting.
Combine the frosting and the peanut butter and stir til completely blended.
Remove paper cups and frost with the frosting.
Makes about 18 cup cakes.
