Instructions
Peanut Butter Buttercream
- Combine butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in a medium bowl and whisk together. Add up to 1 more tablespoon of heavy cream if needed so you have a smooth and spreadable frosting.
- Spread a fairly thick layer of frosting over the cupcakes, stopping about a quarter inch from the edges. Run your knife or spatula over it once or twice to ensure that it is as smooth as possible.
Chocolate Coating
- Combine chocolate and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl just large enough for dipping. Microwave at medium power for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until all lumps disappear. Stir vigorously until chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- Dip cupcakes in the chocolate and allow excess to run off before setting aside to dry. If your cupcakes baked up below the wrapper, you can spoon the chocolate on and tilt the cupcake until the entire surface is covered. The chocolate on the cupcakes will set within about 15 minutes in the refrigerator or an hour on the counter.
Notes
- *You can also use your favorite boxed mix if you'd like.
- *You want to go with a peanut butter brand like Jif or Skippy here.
- Cupcakes will keep in an air-tight container on the counter for about 3 days.
- Small-batch Instructions: When halving, just remember that 1/2 of 1 tablespoon is equal to 1 1/2 teaspoons. No preparation changes are needed.
