Chocolate Peanut-butter Decadence

Inspired by the new little tasty cupcake bites at our favorite coffee house, these are a combination of a brownie-like chocolate cupcake and a peanut-butter fudge based frosting.

I really wanted something that would mimic a peanut-butter cup candy and this certainly does that!

Things I learned:

• I need a bigger star tip for piping the frosting
• I no longer own a mini muffin pan
• Piping frosting is fun!
• My taste-testers eat a LOT of cupcakes
• The frosting makes a fine PB&J sammich

The cupcakes use a recipe that's really low in flower so they are dense, chocolaty, and chewy; with a crunchy top.

The peanut-butter fudge frosting is UBER thick and very hard to pipe through a small tip, but really tasty and the peanuty goodness comes through the sugar well.
