OOEY GOOEY PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Bake the cupcakes according to recipe directions. Let cool. Prepare the Chocolate Fudge Glaze according to the recipe and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and sweetener. Gently fold in the whipped topping. To fill the cupcakes I use a pastry bag with the large flower tip. I fill the pastry bag with this filling and then stick the pastry tip through the top of the cupcake until it's all the way in the cupcake (not touching the bottom) then I squeeze the filling into the cupcake as I pull up the pastry tip. Once the filling is to the top of the cupcake I stop. This puts about 1 1/2 tsp of filling into the cupcake. Fill each cupcake and then frost with 2 tsp of Chocolate Fudge Glaze.
