I don't recommend this recipe. The cupcakes were bland and the frosting was grainy.

These cupcakes are way too sweet for my taste. I couldn't even finish one.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly.

These cupcakes were easy to make and they tasted great! I loved the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I will definitely be making these again.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. The peanut butter cups were a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred a more traditional chocolate frosting.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The chocolate frosting was the perfect complement to the peanut butter cups. I would definitely make these again, even for a non-peanut butter lover like me.

These cupcakes were a hit at my party! They were so easy to make and they tasted delicious. The peanut butter cups melted perfectly in the center and the chocolate frosting was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.
