Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2 In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
3 Bake 18 to 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4 In medium bowl, mix frosting and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Frost cupcakes with frosting. Make a small indentation in center of frosting on each cupcake with back of spoon. Just before serving, spoon 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon jelly into each indentation. Store loosely covered.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

No grape jelly on the shelf? Substitute your favorite flavor of jam, preserves or jelly.

Use jelly or jam from a squeezable container to make quick work of adding it to the frosting.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I hate baking but these are so easy to make that I have picked up a new hobby.... Instead of putting the jelly on top I put it inside the cupcake so when you take a bite you also get the jelly...jusl like a PB&J sandwich!!! They're a hit with my family...
