Chocolate Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Fluff filling

I've had this recipe for awhile now and I'm just getting around to posting it. I made it for a BBQ that we went to earlier this fall. I asked everyone what kind of dessert they wanted and they all said you an t go wrong with Chocolate! Which I happen to agree with! I decided on cupcakes with a peanut butter fluff filling. I mean not much goes together better than Peanut Butter and Chocolate, in my opinion!

Here's what you'll need:

1 box chocolate cake mix (Follow the direction on the box for cupcakes)

1 jar marshmallow fluff

1 cup of Peanut Butter

Frosting:

1 stick of Butter

1tsp Vanilla

3 cups Powdered Sugar

2/3 cup Cocoa

1/3 cup Milk

Here's how you make it:

Make the cupcakes according to the package directions. When cool cut off a small piece of the top of the cupcake.

For the filling:

Mix together the marshmallow and peanut butter until combined, you may need to add a little milk to loosen it up just a bit. When it's completely mixed together, add it into a ziplock bag to be piped into the cupcakes. Fill each cupcake with the peanut butter filling and replace the top of the cupcake. 

For the Frosting:

Melt the butter, stir in the cocoa, and add the milk and powdered sugar alternating between the two. Beat until it is ready to spread then add in the Vanilla, stirring to combine. 

Spread or Pipe onto the cupcakes.

Enjoy

Luau Cupcakes

Have you seen the pretty pineapple flowers on top of Cupcakes on Pinterest? They are so cool and we were getting ready to have a Luau themed Walk to Afghanistan event for our Battalion. So I thought ok cool I’m going to do those pineapple flowers on top of plain white cupcakes. YEAH UM NO! That didn’t work out for me at all! They totally burnt up and were well not so pretty any more.

So I decided to use dried pineapple and dried mango pieces to make it still seem festive and luau-ish. I also grabbed some umbrella toothpicks to skewer the pineapple and mango with.

I mentioned the Walk to Afghanistan above and I realize some of you may not be familiar with what that is. When our Soldiers are deployed often times a Battalion or Group will decide to try to “walk” to Afghanistan. We do this by logging miles each week, and every month our Battalion has a Walk to Afghanistan Event, where the families can come together log a few miles and socialize. It’s a great way to show our Soldiers we are thinking about them and supporting them. It’s also a great way for the families back here to get out and meet other spouses!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 Box of Cake mix

1 Can of Frosting

1tsp Vanilla

1 Pineapple  Dried Pineapple and Mango pieces

Here’s how you make it:

Mix the Cake according to package directions, and pour into a 24 cupcake lined cupcake pan. Bake. Let Cool completely. Meanwhile mix your frosting with the Vanilla, I think this makes it taste a little richer and a little better. Frost cupcakes. Place a piece of Pineapple and a piece of Mango on each Cupcake!

ENJOY!
