Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- For the filling: In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the cupcakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar and butter on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the vanilla and eggs. With the machine running, in batches, gradually add the flour mixture to form a thick batter. Beat in the peanut butter.
- Place 3 tablespoons of batter in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Top with 1 tablespoon of the caramel mixture. Add 1/4 cup of batter on top of the caramel mixture.
- Bake for 23 to 25 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out with moist crumbs. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the muffin tin and cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour (center of cupcakes will fall during cooling).
- For the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and creamy. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the peanut butter until swirls of peanut butter form throughout the frosting.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag and top the cupcakes or use a small spatula to frost the cupcakes.
SIMPLE STEWED PRUNES
This recipe is so simple I hate to post it however there isn't one on Recipezaar even close so here goes. I have posted 1 cup of water however if your prunes are large you want to have the water at least 1/4" above the prunes. I don't use sugar but it may be added.

STEWED PRUNES
I have eaten prunes this way as long as I can remember in my family. My grandmother made stewed prunes this way, my mother did, and I do too. Simple and delicious and taste so nice. Enjoy on their own, or on your breakfast cereal, or with ice cream, or mixed with other fruit.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients into a medium saucepan. Cover. Bring to the boil, give a stir or 2 and then turn the heat down and simmer covered for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minute cooking time turn the heat off and leave on the stove for 10 minutes. Pour into a dish large enough to contain the contents of the saucepan. Cool. When cool, cover (so nothing in the fridge falls into or spills into the dish), and put in the fridge. Eat!

Tips:
- Choose ripe prunes. Soft, plump prunes are easier to stuff and have a better flavor.
- Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the prunes without tearing them.
- Make the filling ahead of time. The peanut butter filling can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Stuff the prunes just before serving. The prunes will start to soften if they are stuffed too far in advance.
- Serve the prunes immediately. Peanut butter stuffed prunes are best served fresh.
