    This was the best cupcakes I have ever made. The peanut butter topping was great. This is a recipe that will get used many times in the years to come.

    The cupcakes are terribly dry, crumbly, and as another reviewer put it -- mealy. The flavor itself is cocoa-rich and not too sweet, but the texture of the cake is truly awful -- a dry sponge. The frosting is very good, tho, so I'm twisting the cupcake tops off to eat them with the icing and tossing the bottoms.

    I used dark chocolate cocoa for the cupcake. I cut the peanut butter from 1 cup to 3/4 and cut the confectioners sugar to 3/4 as well. The results were fabulous. I received kudos from all who ate them.

    I didn't try the chocolate cake recipe but I found the perfect peanut butter icing for brownies. It's amazing! So creamy and peanuty.

    Even though I cheated and used a boxed cake mix, these cupcakes were amazing due to the homemade frosting which was creamy and delicious. It's a great combination. The chopped peanuts on top add a nice crunch and texture.

    While the cupcakes were quite good, the peanut butter icing stole the show. Everyone asked for the recipe!

    Even using so much cocoa powder, I didn't think the chocolate flavor was really strong. The cupcakes were still delicious (much better than boxed!, but I was expecting a little more of a strong chocolate flavor. I might experiment in the future for a richer flavor.

    I also might ignore the chopped peanuts on top. While they looked nice, I didn't especially care for the added texture, especially since the icing was so incredibly smooth and creamy. I'll definitely be making this icing again often!

    This chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing is the ultimate funny-bone for adults. Super easy and super delicious. Once you try it, a chocolate cupcake will never be without peanut butter icing again.

    I could tell from the batter that the cupcakes were going to be good. They were moist and chocolatey without being too sweet. The peanut butter frosting was incredible. My husband thought they were too rich but isn't that what a good dessert is? This is definately going into my files; it would make a fun dessert for a dinner party for adults.
