I love these cupcakes! One of my favorites to make for sure.
Note: when you put the peanut butter cups in the batter, do not cover the top with said batter; the cupcake will bake over the candy. If you do cover the peanut butter cups, they will sink to the bottom.
Also, be careful not to overfill. As a guideline, I generally use 1/4 cup batter in a cup to prevent the cupcakes from filling over.
If you do decide to use a different chocolate batter, make sure you keep this frosting recipe! The frosting is delicious and may be why I've made this cupcake time and again.

I wrote this recipe down after watching the show and decided to make it for my husbands birthday. I got on this website to see the reviews and was a little nervous that they would turn out bad. The recipe did seem off- it calls for 1 cup of sugar, 3 eggs and only 3/4 cup of flour? It didn't seem right to me either so I made the recipe with 1 cup of flour (maybe a teeny more than 1 cup since I live in high altitude and they turned out good. The texture is more like a brownie- very dense and rich. My husband, kids and friends really liked them a lot and the frosting was a nice change from just the classic chocolate flavored frosting.

Makes more than 12, and too runny. There is something off with this recipe. A bit upsetting after you take the time and ingredients to make it and the recipe is incorrect.
I even watched the show on TV, the frosting is great, will use it for sure. But not the cupcake recipe, if it could be corrected, I would appreciate it.
too bad, I was looking forward to this. It looked great.

at first i was a little worried, and most of my friends did think this recipe was really weird sounding until they tried it! then most people ended up really liking it. i haven't made the cupcakes yet--i just used the frosting with a vanilla cupcake 'cause i'm not a huge fan of chocolate cupcakes. the frosting was a little runny at first, but i fixed that. good and unusual recipe.

I whipped up the Double Feature Cupcakes for my first ever "Ugly Betty Night." The cupcakes were very simple to make and were quite moist and VERY delicious. I loved the tangy/sweet of the Mexican Hot Chocolate Frosting. I was not too hot for the peanut butter cups in the middle and will leave them out next Thursday.

Thanks Ingrid for a great recipe!
