How to Make Peanut Butter Truffle Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter until evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the peanut butter truffle filling: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small knife or piping bag to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake.
  12. Fill each cupcake with the peanut butter truffle filling.
  13. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. Dip the top of each cupcake into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  14. Optionally, garnish with chopped peanuts or sea salt.
