Directions

  • Bake according to cake mix package directions.
  • Remove from the oven when done and cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack to cool completely.
  • For Peanut Butter Frosting, beat cocoa into peanut butter and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk. Add vanilla and additional milk if needed. Frost cooled cupcakes.
  • If desired, decorate the top of the cupcakes with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or decoration of choice.
