    These are so good! My daughter wanted peanut butter cups on them instead of peanuts.

    Superior moisture retention - My biggest fear with any cupcake the word DRY - flavor I am giving a 10 - excellent - I did decide to top mine with a peanut butter cream cheese frosting and then roll them in chopped SALTED peanuts as salt and sweet play so well together in a dessert. Add a little coffee and maybe a good mounded tablespoon of cocoa to the frosting as well. Excellent dessert. Thanks Ina!

    I made these and they were not dry at all. We didn't put peanuts on top though, and they only baked for about 18 minutes before we took them out and they were perfect.

    Oh man. This may just be the best frosting I've ever had (well tie between that and my special coconut buttercream, courtesy of America's Test Kitchen. I didn't make the cupcakes as I have my own chocolate cupcake recipe, just the frosting. I added a tiny bit more sugar to it and it is perfection. Thanks a million, Ina!

    These cupcakes are so good! So moist and chocolatier, not too sweet. Actually I prefer eating them without icing, although the icing tastes good, but I prefer to keep the pure chocolatier flavor of these cupcakes.

    : So to be short and sweet these cupcakes are extremely dry!
    I followed the directions perfectly and they looked nice but they were totally in-edible.
    I sent my husband to the store at the last minute to purchase a box cake mix & used the peanut butter icing recipe. Very disappointing.

    these cupcakes are the BEST! i live in a high altitude climate and didn't remember to adjust the ingredients until i had already put the cupcakes in the oven. amazing thing is that they came out beautifully! i have never had cupcakes turn out so well, especially so high up, so now i absolutely swear by this recipe! and the frosting is perfectly decadent and light. i will forever LOVE ina for introducing this to me!

    DECADENT!!!! These are to DIE for!!! Not Dry at all. Moist and so chocolately flavorful. I had not one problem with dryness. I DID invest in an oven thermometer. My oven WAS too hot, I found out. I did bake them for only 17-18 minutes. You REALLY have to watch with Cupcakes, they overbake so very easily. Also, it makes 24 nice sized cupcakes.
    The finished product is just heaven!!! The Peanut Butter Icing is amazing. I piped Swirls on top with a huge star tip, put a few chocolate jimmies, and a quarter slice of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup on top of each....BEAUTIFUL.
    Note: do not pay any mind to the reviews that said this is a dry cupcake. IT IS NOT!!! THEY JUST OVERBAKED THEM, OR THEIR OVEN WAS TOO HIGH.
    ENJOY!!!
