I have three important things to tell you today. Earth-shattering things, really. Are you ready for your world to change?
- My husband does not like cake. We have to make him brownies or cheesecake for his birthday each year.
- I force him to try foods that he doesn’t like all the time, not because I am a jerk, but because I love him and I have high hopes that one day he will wake up with normal taste buds like a normal person and he will eat normal food.
- I forced him to try these Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting and he took one bite, pushed me out of his way, grabbed two more cupcakes, and gobbled the three of them down quite happily.
True story. Except for the part where he pushed me. He would never do such a thing, not even for these cupcakes. He’s a keeper and so are these chocolatey peanut buttery cupcakes.

Oh my goodness. Those look amazing. And decidedly un Weight Watchers friendly. I will bookmark this for future cupcake related needs, however. Yum!

I might give you a friendly nudge if you were standing between me and those cupcakes. : ) PB and chocolate is one of the best combos around.

Sounds like your husband and mine should be friends.
Looks de-lish! Will have to try.

i won’t lie–i don’t LOVE cake. i like it all right, but the real attraction for me lies in the frosting. that said, i wouldn’t hesitate to push aside anyone–even old ladies and toddlers–to grab a handful of these beauties.

YUM!
You think that is weird?! My dad is the complete opposite, he hates cheesecake and anything fudgy or messy. So for birthdays only cake. dry. no icing. no frosting. And don’t dare to put in fruit!

I’d push you out of the way to get at these! Nice you found something cake-like your hubby finally likes! Was it the peanut butter, the chocolate…or the combination?
I love your photos!
