honey and peanutbutter heaven

Chocolate Cupcake with Honey and Peanut Butter Butter Cream
*I know the picture sucks, the lighting in our apartment is terrible :/

On Tuesdays John has a meeting with his manager friends from work, and he asked me to make some cupcakes. With out even knowing, January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day. I though of this cupcake. it was a sign, meant to happen, and meant to be delicious.

growing up a always made peanut butter and honey sandwiches. The best part was when by the time lunch came around the honey was hard and crunchy. I love those sandwiches. After biting into this amazing creation all my childhood memory's resurfaced of all those sandwiches I had. everyone loved these cupcakes. John said that some took one for the road. It makes me happy when I hear or see people enjoying my baking as much as I do, and I know you will love them too!

*use your favorite chocolate cake recipe
honey peanut butter buttercream
2 sticks of room temperature butter or margarine (I use blue bonnet brand)
4-5 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 tablespoons of honey
1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

Cream you butter, slowly add in powdered sugar (about 3 cups worth) until smooth. Add vanilla and mix. Slowly add in honey and peanut butter and mix until creamy and smooth. Lastly add in a little more powdered sugar (maybe a cup or a cup and a half) until you find the consistency you desire. Should be thick and creamy
