Chocolate Peanut Butter Cuocakes

I made these cupcakes for Tex's birthday today. This recipe made 26 cupcakes and very few were left after the party (I think it was because he hid them!). It is also possible to use this recipe for a regular cake. Just be sure to grease the cake pans well and dust with flour before adding the batter and chips.  I used a 350 degree oven.

1 box Chocolate Fudge cake mix
1 box Chocolate Fudge instant pudding mix
3 eggs plus one egg white
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup oil


Mix well with mixer on low, then turn on high for 2 minutes.

1 bag Peanut Butter Chips

Fill cupcake papers half way.. Place 10-15 chips on top of batter. Cook for 18 - 20 minutes (or follow cake mix directions). Allow to cool before frosting.

1 container Chocolate Fudge Frosting
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup Powdered Sugar
Milk

Mix frosting, peanut butter and powdered sugar beating well until thoroughly mixed adding enough milk to thin to spreadable consistency. Frost cooled cupcakes. Don't worry, there will be just enough left over for taste testing the frosting!
