Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

A few weeks ago I volunteered to bring cupcakes to a friend's graduation party. Because cupcakes seem to be all the rage right now, I decided that I would try my hand at a "gourmet" treat. They turned out great. I used the chocolate cupcake recipe that I posted a few months ago, and topped them with peanut butter frosting and chunks of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Even though there were a few different desserts at the party, these definitely were the most popular.

Because I have already posted the recipe for the cupcakes, here is the recipe for the frosting:

1/2 cup margarine, softened

3/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups powdered sugar (or more, to taste)

1 tsp vanilla

2-4 Tbsp milk (as needed to reach desired thickness)

Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. You can spread this over the cupcakes with a knife, or use a special icing kit if you want it to look all fancy.
