Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

Ingredients

1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup peanut butter
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
16 miniature peanut butter cups

Directions

In a bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and brown sugar. Beat
in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add
to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter. Press a peanut
butter cup into the center of each until top edge is even with
batter. Bake at 350° for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted on an angle toward the center of the cupcakes comes out
clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks
to cool completely.
Yield: 16 cupcakes.
