Time for some sweets for your sweet this Valentine’s Day! Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. I don’t generally post recipes and this is certainly not a food blog. But I always make something sweet for my four valentines on Valentine’s Day. I thought I would share with y’all tonight. I do love to bake and I can just call this one a “food craft” right?
This is a store bought cake mix dressed up with some super simple homemade frosting. First bake your cupcakes according to the directions on the package. I made regular size and mini ones.
I found my peanut butter frosting recipe in a magazine years ago. I scoured the net and could not find this exact recipe. It is super simple and oh so good! So let’s get started:
Peanut Butter Frosting
1/3 cup peanut butter (you can use chunky if you desire — I did not)
2 cups confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 teaspoons honey
4-5 tbsp milk
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl with the electric mixer on low speed. Add just enough milk to make an acceptable spreading consistency. Yield: 2 1/2 cups.
(recipe courtesy of August 2008 edition of electric coop magazine)
Easy right? Just spread it on. Then I took some melted chocolate and free handed some piped hearts on parchment paper. Let them dry and add them to the top. Oh so yummy! All of my sweethearts like them too!
What are you making for your valentines this week? Anything extra special?
