Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup peanut butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.

Step 2

Combine brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.

Step 3

Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Slowly beat into the creamed mixture. Pour in milk and water; stir until batter is thick and smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tins. Press 2 mini peanut butter cups into each cupcake.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm and begin to pull away from the sides of the tin, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 5

Pile 15 to 20 chocolate chips over each cupcake. Return to the oven until chocolate chips start to melt, about 1 minute. Spread melted chocolate over the cupcakes and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
