Peanut Butter Hot Fudge cupcakes... with homemade fudge sauce kudos to bmel and ThePeter for helping me




They taste like a giant Reese's cup that melts in your mouth

^THIS WOMAN IS A CUPCAKE MAESTRO

8/12/2011 12:16:18 AM

Can we mandate recipes? D:

Those look tastegasmic.
As in, my taste buds would have an orgasm upon eating them.
I need cupcake trays in my apartment so I can stop stealing other peoples'.

8/12/2011 12:37:17 AM

chances are if I post a cupcake it's my own recipe or from http://www.howsweeteats.com (the ones above are from her website)

8/12/2011 12:38:57 AM

Holy crap these look fantastic :drool:

8/12/2011 12:39:46 AM

pro tip: whoever decides to make these for themselves, do NOT fill the cupcake tin up very high.. like 2/3 max (normally I like to make mine really big so I go almost to the top)


with the fudge sauce added in I guess it makes the cupcake too heavy and instead of looking really nice coming out they just spill over onto the pan - they still hold up, but it was almost like it was just too much. The third batch where I didn't pour in as much turned out way nice

Aahh thank you so much for the recipe site!
I genuinely hope one of my roommates brought cupcake pans, as I only have them at home or at my boyfriend's apartment.
But woah. I'm going to go through that entire site and make things. There's even dinner food there, not just sugartastic cupcakes!

Thank you again!

NOT the cupcake shoppee

8/12/2011 10:44:10 AM

You shut your mouth.

8/12/2011 10:47:12 AM

^^ So true.

Actually, I have yet to buy a cupcake from a shop that I really liked. The frosting is usually WAY too sweet and they pile a shitload on there for no good reason

Thinking I might make these this weekend:

Maybe dalecooter's wife can give you the hookup.

Mr. Joshua....I love you and I love that song

but cupcake shoppee has awful cupcakes...they're so dry and then a shit ton of icing that is mediocre at best

8/12/2011 10:54:55 AM

cupcake bite in fuquay. you won't be disappointed. cheaper than shoppe and the icing/cake is the bomb

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! I'm so happy someone agrees with me on this haha.

8/12/2011 11:00:37 AM

everyone who's put up reviews in the last year agree with you too

8/12/2011 11:01:25 AM

Apparently I need to broaden my horizons.

8/12/2011 11:01:35 AM

I like the cupcake shoppe's mini cupcakes. they are pretty awesome. much more moist than the big ones.

as far as the big ones, I used to like them, but now I've found the only one I really care for is the chocolate. as everyone has already said, way too dry.

8/12/2011 11:03:47 AM

GiGi's is o-kay.
It seems to be the trend to have like just as much icing as cupcake though.
I had a margarita cupcake there once that was quite nomful

I made triple salted caramel cupcakes last week

Yeah I hate that shit. If your cake is good, you shouldn't need to pile on a crapload of icing, just enough to compliment the cake. And then usually the icing is terrible.

"NOT the cupcake shoppee"

the cupcake shoppe has gotten better. i got some cupcakes from them a couple of weeks ago and was impressed (and i agree - last year and the year before - totally dry). one of my friends bought the groupon for the cupcake shoppe and we had a cupcake party last night and we all agreed their cupcakes are getting better.

i've also had Gigi's cupcakes and the problem is that they stack the frosting so high that by the time i get to the actual cupcake i'm in a sugar coma.

and speaking of cupcake wars - one of my friends from middle school was just approached to be on the next season of the show (we grew up in NJ together but she went to UNC for college and now lives back up in NY)

I <3 that show. It is so over the top dramatic about such a light subject. and some of the ingredients are ridiculous.

8/12/2011 11:31:39 AM

haha what sort of ingredients? I've never watched that show.

8/12/2011 11:32:37 AM

I remember watching one where they had to use seaweed AND sea salt

8/12/2011 11:35:22 AM

I'm blanking on specifics and google isn't helping.


I know they did whey powder, spinach, energy drinks and other stuff for the espy episode. the nasa one had sun and moon ingredients, and the moon ingredients were like cheese and potatoes and stuff.

8/12/2011 11:37:35 AM

lol at what point do the cupcakes become something else? cheese, potatoes, seaweed????

it's almost like, "a muffin of stuff with icing on top"

8/12/2011 11:39:03 AM

the judges can be assholes, and the dude will totally say, this is not a cupcake, this is a muffin.

8/12/2011 11:59:59 AM

haha the french guy: cupcake wars what alex guwerhjaslkdfjasdschelli: chopped

8/12/2011 12:02:59 PM

pretty much

8/12/2011 12:04:34 PM

I hope people don't think I have too much icing... sometimes I guess I get carried away. But I love icing! And I don't want to brag but my icing never sucks

8/12/2011 1:18:58 PM

Icing is my favorite part if it's good, but I agree that a lot of bakery icing blows. It just tastes like Crisco and leaves a greasy feel in my mouth.

8/12/2011 1:21:01 PM

I try to put less if it's dense... the blueberry cupcakes I made had fluffy icing so I put a bit more on them

8/12/2011 1:23:15 PM

^ agreed.

i like my icing to be light and fluffy
