Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes!

Hi everyone! I was at the mall supposedly looking for a couple new sweaters but ended up in the
Williams-Sonoma store instead-how does that keep happening?
While there I found a cute little toy, a Cupcake Corer...
It's a little gadget that looks like this, and you screw it into the top of the cupcake to make a hole.
The little red plunger pushes the cake out of the corer.
Then you can fill it with what ever you want to, I chose raspberry jelly but strawberry is great too.
And topped them with Peanut Butter Icing!
My sons declared this idea a keeper!
Hope you love it if you try it:@)

You can use any cake recipe or box mix you like, I chose vanilla cupcakes by Joy the Baker.

Peanut Butter Icing
1/2 C butter, room temp
1 C smooth peanut butter
2 C powdered sugar
3 Tblsp milk (start with 2 Tblsp, add extra as needed to obtain a good consistency)
Cream the butter and peanut butter, add sugar and milk. Mix till combined and fluffy. 
This will not be as smooth as a butter cream frosting, but it is very tasty!

    Lynn, those look wonderful, and how on earth did you ice them to look like that? Is that another cupcake tool? I would love to try this. Chocolate would be another wonderful thing inside a vanilla cupcake. Oh, I'm starting to get excited just thinking about it. See what you've done??? LOL!

    XO,

    These look yummy, Lynn. What a clever idea.
    I've been away from my computer, so spent some time catching up this evening. Beautiful primroses, and the snow photos are too cute. So the snowmen are packed away? LOL

    Those look amazing! We don't have a Williams Sonoma store :( but maybe the kitchen gadget store at the mall will have one. Now I'm wondering....donut holes took on a life of their own. Is there a market for cupcake holes?

    I think if I had a choice when I was a kid, I would have chosen to take these for a home lunch instead of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Of course, now that I'm grown, I think I'd still make the same choice! :) Thanks so much for linking this up with Sweets for a Saturday. I truly appreciate your support. I hope you'll be able to join me again next Saturday. By then, I'll have a cute button that you can grab and add to your post.
