The Best Peanut Butter Filled Cupcakes

I can hardly believe my baby turned 4 this week! He is such a little sweetheart. For his birthday I took him and his brother to Disneyland, they had so much fun despite the crazy crowds. Since we have annual passes, Brady was given a $60.00 gift card courtesy of Disney to buy anything he wanted. He had so much fun picking out all of his birthday gifts! Older brother is already counting down the days that he gets to do the same.

Birthday night I made these killer cupcakes with a surprise center that will not disappoint! Peanut buttery delicious to say the least! Take a peek and enjoy, they are oh so bad, but oh so good!

I frosted them with a super fast, super tasty 3-ingredient cream cheese frosting and decorated them with non-pareil sprinkles! These would also taste amazing with peanut butter frosting, chocolate frosting or a classic buttercream. It’s up to you!
