Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Peanut Butter Cupcakes have nutritional value. These Reeses peanut butter cup cupcakes are a hit for chocolate and peanut butter lovers. Eaten plain, or with fluffy peanut butter frosting.

Garnish and decorate as desired with sprinkles. I like garnishing with a few Reese's Pieces.
