"Hidden Treasure Cupcakes"

I think this is a great way to "Wow" your family and friends, without a whole lot of work..........

I had left over Chocolate cake batter from another project and had remembered seeing these on the back of a cake box mix, I believe the idea came from Pillsbury.
It also gave me a chance, to use the Panettone cups, I had to try. I found these at www.beryls.com

I inserted miniature peanut butter cups and frosted with a quick recipe of :

Peanut Buttercream Frosting

2/3 Cup butter, softened

4 Cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 Tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth)

2 to 4 Tablespoons Milk

In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter till light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well.

Beat in vanilla and enough milk for desired consistency.

You can whip this up in no time. Great for when you need to take something to a pot luck or gathering of friends. Definitely satisfies, that Chocolate/Peanut Butter craving.

This was my first experience with the Panettone cups, they make a beautiful presentation, everyone eewww'd and aah'd . But when it came time to eat the cupcake within...........Well, to be honest, I don't feel comfortable repeating what they had to say............. I think I will stick with your every day cupcake papers from now on.

O.K. "It was funny!!!!!!!!!!!"

Watching everyone and the different techniques they used to get into these Panettone cups.
