Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners (for a total of 24 cupcakes).
• For the peanut butter filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the granulated sugar. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to mix until smooth. Set aside.
• For the chocolate cupcake batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream 1 cup of the granulated sugar with the oil. Slowly add the vanilla extract and egg yolks to the creamed sugar while mixing, and beat until incorporated.
• In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until firm peaks form. Do not over-whip.
• Turn the stand mixer on the lowest speed. Add the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two and scraping down the sides after each addition. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter in three parts.
• Scoop one scoop of the chocolate cupcake batter into each cupcake liner. Top with one scoop of the peanut butter filling. The liners will be about two-thirds full. Bake until the cupcakes are nicely domed and the chocolate bounces back from gentle pressure, about 22 minutes; the peanut butter filling will not be firm. Remove from the pans and cool.
• For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip the cream.
• Ice the cooled cupcakes with the frosting using a pastry bag fitted with the desired tip.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
• Put the butter, cocoa powder and chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, and then whisk in the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter among the prepared liners so they are about three-quarters full.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool in the tins 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and butter in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, on medium speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the confectioners? sugar until smooth and incorporated. Pipe or spread the frosting on the tops of the cupcakes. Sprinkle with peanuts for garnish if using.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven 350. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. BROWNIE BASE: In large bowl mix brownie base ingredients: butter, sugar, and water. Add the eggs and vanilla stirring to combine. Combine dry ingredients and stir additions into the batter until all is combined.
• 2. Fill your cupcake pan (liners in place) with a rounded Tablespoon of the brownie batter. You want to adjust this amount leaving enough batter to bake 24 cupcakes. Bake 10 minutes.
• 3. Remove pans from oven and place on wire racks. I use a rounded measuring Tablespoon pressing to create indents in the still warm brownies. Move onto your second batch of 12 paper lined cupcake brownies. Repeat the cooling step and create the rounded indentation in each. Work in a continued pattern and make the filling next.
• 4. FILLING - Take a small mixing bowl and combine all of the ingredients. Mix by hand adding more powdered sugar if necessary while creating a peanut butter filling that leaves the sides of the bowl. After the brownies are cooled enough to handle take a rounded teaspoon of the filling and place on top of the brownie indentations.
• 5. TOPPING: I use the canned evaporated milk (not condensed sweetened) placing it in a 1-quart sauce pan. Heating the pan slowly stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter until combined well. It will remain glossy and begin clotting together resembling pudding without boiling. I use a wooden spoon to stir the topping and then take a spoon full and slowly drip it on top of the peanut butter filling.
• 6. Refrigerate these bundles of joy about 10-15 minutes and serve whenever. These never last more than 2 days in my house while many are taken home for later snacking by visiting family.

Steps:

• In small microwavable bowl, microwave peanut butter uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Drop 20 spoonfuls of peanut butter in 5x4 rows over brownie batter. For marbled design, pull knife through batter and filling about 1 inch apart; turn pan and repeat.
• Bake 26 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean. To cut warm brownies easily, use a plastic knife and short sawing motions. Store tightly covered.
