These chocolate peanut butter cupcakes have a tasty surprise inside!
My husband loves chocolate and peanut butter, and I do, too. It really is one of the best combinations for desserts. Whether it's ice cream, brownies, or fudge, the two of us always grab the chocolate peanut butter combination. These chocolate peanut butter cupcakes are one of my favorite cupcakes to make! They look so decadent and are really easy to make.
When I had my son's birthday party, I mentioned I made these chocolate peanut butter cupcakes for the adults to eat. I had 4 cupcakes left when the party was over! That's how popular these cupcakes were! I also made them years ago for my sister's baby shower and they were a hit, too!
I always use a box of chocolate or dark chocolate cake mix. The cupcakes always turn out great and I love how they taste. The peanut butter filling is super easy to make and I use a tool similar to this one to inject it into the center of the cupcake. You can also use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
As for making the chocolate ganache, make sure you execute a little patience. Test a cupcakes first, make sure after you dip it into the ganache and flip it upright, make sure it doesn't run off the edges. If that happens, your ganache isn't ready. Let it set to give it time to harden a bit more.
