The results were great when I used one 12c Muffin pan as called for in the recipe and one 6c giant Muffin pan. Using the 12c Muffin pan make sure you use very sturdy cupcake liners, the paper ones just did not hold up well. Only fill half way they will rise, which is why a Muffin pan is essential. Using the 6c giant Muffin pan was even better; I used the flimsy paper liners doubling them and filled the batter almost to the top of the liner because the cupcake liner comes up to about half way in the muffin cup. I baked the cupcakes in the giant pan 5 min longer. The cupcakes in the giant Muffin pan came out much more uniform. I had extra peanut butter filling so try cutting that recipe in half. I left the chocolate ganache on counter for about 5 min while I filled the cupcakes and then popped in the fridge for a 2 min to thicken. The sturdy liners were easier to dip in the ganache for the sml cupcakes. I had no trouble with the paper liners on the giant cupcakes with dipping.

I was really looking forward to this one but was very disappointed. I mad 2 attempts following the instructions exactly and was rewarded with a huge flop both times. I had a TON of left over batter and even filling only halfway had the cupcakes collapse and batter run all over my oven.

They did turn out fantastic, very rich, people asked for the recipe. But I agree, keep to only half full, and it made 24 for me too. The peanutbutter filling filled all 24 and had some left. My tops wanted to break off when I tried to dip them in the ganache, not sure if it was because they poured over the top or because I didn't let them cool all the way? I ended up making extra ganache because the amount didn't cover all 24 cupcakes the recipe made, and didn't use anywhere near 1 cup of chopped peanuts, even with 24 cupcakes.

Very good idea. I used Duncan Hines fudge cake mix to which I added some sour cream, vanilla and minature choc. chips. Then did the rest except instead of nuts I melted white chocolate and drizzled on top. Grandkids loved them. Thanks

OMG! These are by far the best cupcakes I have ever made! My daughter rated them the best Ever! The combination of the chocolate and peanut butter is perfect. They do take some time to make, however it is well worth it and not difficult to do. I made the peanut butter filling while they baked, then the ganche while they cooled. The kitchen was still clean when I finished and the result was amazing! (It Would have been worth a messy kitchen. The recipe made a full 2 dozen of cupcakes for me. The coffee and the buttermilk in the cupcake batter gives it such a ruch flavor! (I did find if you do not have buttermilk - you can substitute 1 c milk with 1 tsp lemon juice (let sit for 5 min. I have already been requested to make them again this weekend. Thank you, Bobby for an amazing recipe!

very delicious. HOWEVER- extremely messy, and labor-intensive!!!! so much leftover batter too, after filling 18 cups- still had leftover..one of the messiest things I've ever baked.between the actual cupcake batter itself (so many ingredients! then a peanut butter cream, then a ganache.cupcakes should be simple- I think. lotta work for a cupcake, just saying...

My kids and I have already made these cupcakes twice! However, make sure the cups are only filled halfway otherwise they will spill over. So far these are the most fabulous cupcakes from the Food Network magazine. Thanks you for sharing this recipe.

This recipe makes 24 cupcakes, not 18. Do NOT fill your tins more than 1/2 full! I did that when the recipe yielded much more devil's-food batter than advertised, and I was rewarded with a huge mess. Also, I could have halved the filling recipe and still had plenty. I used salted roasted peanuts to sprinkle on top. Everyone loved the salty-sweet contrast. If Bobby Flay had provided an accurate yield amount (which would have saved me a lot of grief, I'd have given his recipe 5 stars, because these cupcakes were moist, delicious, and a runaway hit with eaters.

Just made these today. They were great. Just wish I put more filling in them. Very easy to make just don't over flow the cupcake liners. Wish they posted the nutritional values too.
