Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Years ago, a friend and I had this idea of creating a cupcake business. We wanted to make help make the world happy, and no one was ever grumpy about a cupcake. While the business never really took off, I walked away with a few amazing cupcake recipes.
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake recipe is one I created, and man is it delicious! The secret is the peanut butter marshmallow frosting. Yum!
Chocolate Cinnamon Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water
1 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water
Directions:
Mix together all the dry ingredients.
Add in the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla: beat until smooth.
Add the water and mix.
The batter will be watery so you will have to ladle the batter into your liners. Be sure to have something like a paper towel ready because it will drip everywhere.

Bake at 350* for 20-25 min. Cool in the pan 5 min, then remove and cool completely. Then frost to your hearts delight and top with a mini Snicker's bar. I suggest using the following recipe:
