Ingredients

Icing

Method

Peanut butter

1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper patty cases.
2.In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, peanut butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3.Fold in flour alternately with milk. Spoon evenly into cases until two-thirds full. Bake 20-25 minutes, until golden and cooked when tested. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4.To make icing: in a medium bowl, beat cream to form soft peaks. Fold in peanut butter to combine. Spoon onto cooled cupcakes, smoothing edges. Sprinkle crushed peanuts all over. Top with a chocolate.

Use any chocolates you like to top these cupcakes. If you have a peanut butter allergy, replace the peanut butter in the cake with butter, and with melted chocolate in the topping.
