Devil's Food Chocolate Cupcakes with Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting

I'll admit it - I'm a Geek.  Probably fall in the "un-cool" category.  When I have down time in front of the television, I watch one of 4 networks typically - Bravo, TLC, HGTV and FoodNetwork.  Big Guy is "cool" - he watches Sports or the News or a HBO series like Dexter.  LOL!  So this afternoon, Cupcake Wars was airing on FoodNetwork.  My adorable 2 year old woke from his nap, sauntered into the living room and said, "I want to do that"  pointing to the tv as they were mixing their cupcakes.  How can I say NO to a face like this???


Those are "his" glasses - Teen's that she decorated with duct tape!

 Ventured to my downstairs pantry to see what quick and easy cake mix was on hand - Devil's Food!  Sounded like a winner to me! 
After the cupcakes were baked

I choose to make Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting.  So yummy and simple!

Ingredients:
1 stick softened butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups confectioner's sugar
3 tablespoons milk or as needed

Blend together all the ingredients (I just whisked by hand), using milk as a thinner as needed.  If you want a stronger peanut butter taste, use more peanut butter and less sugar.  This recipe is very forgiving.
Once smooth, I filled my little icing gizmo I purchased several years ago from Pampered Chef. Just for fun, I injected the center of the cupcakes with a bit of icing.

Topped them off with a bit more icing.  Sprinkled crushed Butterfinger candy ice cream topping over them!  To be enjoyed tomorrow!
