PB&J Cupcakes

Lets reminisce on a childhood favorite made totally adult! These cupcakes will take you right back to the past with pure deliciousness :)

What you will need:
One Betty Crocker (or favorite) yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and water called for on cake mix box, peanut butter, favorite jelly or jam, powdered sugar, vanilla, butter.

Cake
Mix cake mix according to directions on back of box. Simple :)

When cake is baked, and cooled, carve out a small amount of cake with a spoon.

Once cakes have been hollowed, add a bit of jam to fill the void! I used strawberry for this recipe.

Icing
3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
1 1/4-1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla

In stand mixer, whip butter until fluffy. Add in peanut butter, and mix throughly. Once mixed, add in powdered sugar a small amount at a time. When fully mixed, add in vanilla and whip on high for another 30 seconds. (amount of sugar will be based on thickness you personally desire for icing. You can use more or less as to personal taste)

Pipe icing on cupcakes using a ziploc bag. Be sure to seal in all jam!

Enjoy! These are a wonderful treat that both children and adults alike will love :)
