If you love desserts with fun hidden centers, you are going to love these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes too.
Seriously??? I had all those symbols on my phone? I honestly never saw the tiny word "next" on the screen. All these years of texting, and I've never sent a smiley because I thought my phone didn't have those options. Technology and me. Well, it might just be me!!
Please tell me I am not the only one. I hope it doesn't take me 4 years to learn how to use the iPhone currently in my possession. Oh, well, at least I have baking going for me!
You HAVE got to try this yummy brownie cupcake filled with the most delectable cookie truffle hidden inside! Putting things inside cupcakes shouldn't surprise you.
Remember this Oreo Truffle Surprise Cupcake? I have been plotting since then to come up with another surprise inside cupcake! Since peanut butter & chocolate is my combo choice most days, it only made sense to buy some Nutter Butter cookies and try another truffle cupcake again. You are going to love these!!!!
A brownie cupcake baked with a Nutter Butter truffle AND topped with Dark Chocolate Buttercream Frosting??? I am ALL in! Of course, you could just eat all the frosting and have plain brownies, but who would do such a thing?
How to make Nutter Butter Truffle Cupcakes:
- Crush the cookies and mix them crumbs together with the softened cream cheese. Roll into 16 small balls and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Make your box brownie mix following the 3 egg directions. We want cake brownies not fudge brownies for this recipe.
- Spoon 2 teaspoons of the brownie batter into 16 cupcake liner. Place a cookie truffle in the center of each liner and cover with the remaining brownie batter.
- Bake and cool completely.
- Use a piping bag and icing tip 1M to swirl the chocolate frosting on top.

- The hidden M&M center in this Piñata Cake is so much fun!
- Caramel candies inside these Salted Caramel Mocha Brownie Cups make them taste amazing.
- These gooey Marshmallow Stuffed PB Chocolate Chip Cookies look incredible!

I am a total tech phobe even though I do have the iphone (and LOVE it) and do have a blog. But MY blog is not very exciting looking and yours has style and class. I wouldn't even have the first notion how to change mine even though I desperately want to. You brownie/cupcakes/nutter butter truffle looks so amazing! YUM!

You are an evil genius. I might have told you that before, but I mean it this time. Sheesh, do you have any idea what you do to my will power? This is too much, too much I tell you! I would say thank you for linking up, but I think this post is going to haunt my dreams tonight. Ha ha! J/K, kisses!

You had me at Nutter Butter! Yum! These look divine.
I'm technology challenged when it comes to cell phones. I just bought a new one last fall and purposely got one that would do all the fancy email/wi fi/gps stuff. It can text and talk and that makes me happy. 🙂
