Got Milk?

Does anyone remember that Got Milk commercial from a few years ago, where the little boy feeds his dog a spoonful of peanut butter, and the whole commercial is us watching a dog trying to eat the peanut butter?? Well this is how I felt when eating this cupcake.

My eleventh cupcake is peanut butter cupcakes. While they were very tasty, be sure to have a glass of cold milk sitting beside you.

The cupcakes themselves had crunchy peanut butter mixed in them and the frosting also had 1/2 cup of peanut butter.

The recipe called for them to bake for twenty minutes. I might suggest 17-18. They seemed to dry out way to quickly. Another factor to the dryness of the cake was that the liners were pulling away from the cake, creating a gap for air to come through.

The frosting was a little difficult to work with. I'm guessing it was the peanut butter, but it was super sticky and very hard to spread on to the cupcake. It was just a goopy mess.

These cupcakes can be stored unfrosted in an airtight container for about 3 days, or you can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

With a few adjustments, I would definitely make these again. Maybe somehow add chocolate in the mix!
