How to Make Peanut Butter Filled Fudge Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup margarine (softened), ⅓ cup milk, and 2 large egg whites until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons honey, ⅓ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Fill each prepared muffin cup about halfway full with the chocolate batter.
  7. Top each cupcake with a rounded teaspoon of the peanut butter cream cheese mixture.
  8. Fill the remaining space in each cupcake liner with the chocolate batter (approximately one tablespoon per cupcake).
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
