Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

  • Tip

    Let the kids help make these cupcakes by adding the peanut butter cups. To make these "surprise" cupcakes, frost the cooled cupcakes with chocolate frosting to hide the peanut butter cups.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4  cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4  cups packed brown sugar
  • 3  teaspoons baking powder
  • 1  teaspoon salt
  • 1  cup milk
  • 1/3  cup shortening
  • 1/3  cup peanut butter
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla
  • 2  eggs
  • 24  miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies, unwrapped

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. In large bowl, beat all ingredients except peanut butter cups with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
  2. 2Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Press 1 peanut butter cup into batter in each cup until top edge of candy is even with batter.
  3. 3Bake 18 to 28 minutes or until tops spring back when touched near center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from muffin cups. Serve warm or cool.
