Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

My two favorite things to put in a dessert~ Peanut butter + Chocolate. 

Best. Combination. EVER.

Iv'e made these cupcakes several times, and I will most definitely make them several more times. They're delicious. And amazing. And delicious. Understand?

Okay, I can tell you right now, I will probably never make a cake from scratch. I won't do it. It's not that I can't, it's just that I won't. I guess I just love the taste of all those lovely preservatives in a box of cake mix. Alright, I won't go that far, but cake is one thing I don't like making from scratch, cause I'm not good at it. (And, hey, maybe I am just a little bit lazy sometimes). Cookies, brownies, anything else, really, I will make.

Now that we've gone over that, I'll tell you what you will need for these cupcakes.

• Chocolate cake mix
• Cake mix ingredients (Oil, water, eggs)
• Peanut Butter
• Reeses peanut butter cups
• 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Step one (and a half):

• Make the cake batter
• Preheat oven according to cake mix box

Step two:

• Chop up a few of the Reeses cups and mix them into the batter. (I forgot to do this with these cupcakes, but I recommend you add them, otherwise its just plain chocolate cake)
• Make sure to save some of the Reeses to top off the cupcakes.

Step three:

• Line the cupcake pan with papers and fill them about 3/4 full with batter

Step four:

• Bake!

Step five:

After the cupcakes cool, it's time to make the chocolate peanut butter dipping tastiness.

• Put the whipping cream in a sauce pan and heat until boiling
• Put the chocolate chips and about a half cup of peanut butter into a mixing bowl, and pour the hot whipping cream over the chips.
• Whisk the mixture until combined
• Add as much peanut butter as your little heart desires. (My little heart desires a lot of peanut butter)

Step six:

• Dip the tops of the cupcakes in the chocolate, then top them off with Reeses peanut butter cups

Step seven:

• Enjoy!
