Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

       There are very few things from my childhood that I still need on a weekly basis
 other than Peanut Butter Cups. I instantly get transported back to the 80"s sitting on my
 my front step and savoring every last bite as a child. These days I just try to put them in
 as many baked goods as I possibly can. Trust me when I say that you are going to love
 these! Enjoy.
