The icing is amazing. Be careful on adding too many chopped peanuts on top - tends to make it too salty. The cupcakes were a little dry, but I might have left them in the oven for a little too long. I also made 24 cupcakes instead of the 14 she suggested.

I didn't make the cupcakes, only the icing, and it was very well received by my family. I spread it on my devil's food cupcakes, and everyone requested I make it again. I personally don't care for peanut butter, but it was the perfect creamy and light pairing for a chocolate treat.

This is a dense cupcake that tastes pretty good. It has a tendency to be dry so monitor the time in the oven and take out as soon as it’s done. I used instant coffee and it turned out fine. I used another icing instead of the peanut butter.

Made this for my boyfriend, and they came out great!! the cupcakes themselves came out moist and delicious. The icing was really tasty i was afraid that the peanut butter would have over powered the cupcake but it tastes like a reeses peanut butter cup. I found if you put them in the fridge the next day they taste even better. Thanks Ina would def make this again.

This was the first recipe I used to try in my stand mixer. I thought they were pretty good. The frosting was delicious, maybe a little too strong but still very good (resembles a Reeses cup using creamy Skippy peanut butter. The actual cake part was tasty, mine came out slightly dry but I think it was my own doing of leaving them in for too long (at 20 minutes they were underdone so I left them in for 25 and I think I over did it. Not sure I would consider making them again just because I like more simple cupcakes like vanilla but I enjoyed making these and would recommend it to anyone who likes the chocolate and peanut butter combo.

While the peanut butter icing is VERY good, I personally think it overpowers the fantastic chocolate cupcake it is covering. These are some of the best chocolate cupcakes (moist, chocolatey so I make them on their own and top them with American vanilla buttercream. The chocolate flavor really shines that way.
