to celebrate his birthday.Man, what a birthday he had!
First he fell at recess & got a huge bump above his eye,
and then after school we got rear ended super hard…
it was a 4 car accident all caused by the guy behind me.
Now my back hatch won’t even open:-(
Praise the Lord no one was hurt
(although my daughter is still saying her neck hurts)
and we all had insurance.
Definitely going to be a bday to remember…
But back to the present day cupcake…
I had enough chocolate batter left to make one extra decadent cupcake.
Reeses PB cups were calling out to me….
seriously I really do hear voices when it comes to sugar:-)
I am thinking it might become a problem in the back end department.
eeehhh, that is what slimfast and exercise is for, right?
So, for fun I baked an entire one in the bottom of the cupcake.
Topped it off with a swirl of peanut butter and chocolate buttercream…
but what else does it need???
The other day I pulled out all my fall/halloween baking supplies
and these bat molds just looked like fun.
So I painted the inside of the mold with chocolate,
filled it with some peanut butter butter cream,
and covered it up with more yummy chocolate.
Love love love how it turned out.
But I am thinking I need to make more…
because I devoured this one after taking pics
of the yumminess inside it.
I just couldn’t resist the temptation of pb and chocolate:-)
(I am starting to think cupcakes and coffee are not the most healthy breakfast:-)

Are you kidding me with the multiple chocolate + peanut butter layers of that cupcake? I love it! And you made the PB filled bat? Okay. Am seriously inspired by your skills.
LOL I eat mine for breakfast too. This looks DIVINE!
What a great combination. These cupcakes look delicious. Your buttercream looks light and fluffy. Thanks for sharing.
That cupcake looks delish!!!! Mmmm…. I’m craving one already
Those bat pics are so cute! I recently tried a peanut butter frosting topped chocolate cupcake. Will be posting soon.
so sorry about the accident! happy belated birthday to your sweet boy! the cupcakes look superb, as always. i’m convinced that you NEED to open a cupcakery.
wow that does look good x
These look amazing! Do you share your frosting recipes? I make a peanut buttercream but I’m always looking for ways to improve or make alternates. I’ve also never found a chocolate buttercream I’m truly happy with. I’d love to see how you do yours, if you’re up to passing it along. Also, regarding the candy bat, is that the peanutbutter frosting you put inside the mold? resa (at) booturtle (dot) com
