Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups in 28 regular-size muffin cups. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2 In large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and the granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about 1/3 of mixture at a time, and milk, about 1/2 at a time, beating just until blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
3 Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4 In large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups butter and the peanut butter with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme. On low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until blended. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat 3 minutes longer.
5 Spoon frosting into decorating bag fitted with large round tip. On top of each cupcake, pipe frosting in circles making cone shape with peak in center. Refrigerate cupcakes at least 45 minutes to harden frosting before dipping in chocolate coating.
6 In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips and oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Dip cone-shaped frosting on each cupcake into chocolate coating to coat frosting completely, letting excess chocolate drip off. Refrigerate to set coating, about 5 minutes.

Everyone seemed to like (not love) these and I don't think I will make them again. They were a little too involved for me, I think. Also, I didn't read ahead and notice that you need a decorating bag, so I just used a ziploc and cut a hole in the corner. They didn't come out as pretty as the pic, but the chocolate covering did cover more of the frosting imperfections than I expected.

I found some peanut butter cupcakes at Starbucks (see pic - http://imunchie.com/thisheartdreams/munchies/peanutbutter-cup-mini-cupcakes) and they were amazing! So, I wanted to find a recipe that I could replicate them with. This seems like it will be very easy to do and rather than having a chocolate frosting, I'll see if I can find a PB one.

This was my first time making these and i used a box of betty crocker yellow cake mix and added 3/4c peanut butter for the cupcakes. They were delicious! This peanut butter frosting is AMAZING!! It's so good it's dangerous..i sat down with a sppon and a glass of milk. i used crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth. You can't use a frosting tip to frost but it gives them an unexpected crunch
