Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake

I love chocolate and peanut butter together.  Putting them into a cupcake only makes it better!

Ingredients

1 box of chocolate cake mix

1/2 of cold coffee

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter - my daughter likes Skippy, but I like Jiff

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup heavy cream

Chopped salted peanuts

Follow the instructions for the chocolate cake mix, just replace the water for the 1/2 cold coffee.  Fill the lined cupcake tins with the batter and cook following the instructions on the box.

For the frosting, place the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until creamy, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as you work. Add the cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and smooth.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, top the cupcakes with the frosting, then dip into the salted peanuts.
