Deneece's Notes:

My daughter left for Paris today and I will be on edge until I know she landed safely. So to destress I made some cupckes. She bought a bunch of cake mixes the other day so i grabbed one and started from there. Hunter my seven year old wanted peanut butter and jelly cupcakes, (i made him peanut butter and jelly brownies once and he loved them) so this is what we came up with : ) You can use any kind of preserves or jam, i used grape jam since it is my sons favorite. I myself would prefer them with some blueberry or blackberry preserves. These are great for kids, cause what kid doesnt like PB&J

 

Directions
1
Line muffin tins with cupcake papers and preheat oven to 350
2
Empty cake mix into a large bowl
3
Add 1 to 1 1/4 c peanut butter to mix.
4
Mix on medium speed till crumbly
5
Pour water into this mix
6
Add the three eggs
7
Mix batter until smooth
8
Pour into paper lined muffin pan, filling each only 1/3 full
9
Add 1 t jam or preserves to top of each
10
Fill with remaining batter over the jam.
11
Bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
12
allow cupcakes to cool completely
13
in a small bowl mix fluffy white icing and peanut butter to taste
14
put icing into pastry bag or decorating tube and pipe onto each cupcake, warm jam in microwave and using thin tip on pastry bag or a small hole in a plastic baggie pipe the warm jam over the frosting.
15
I also used chocolate icing and m&m's as per my sons request lol

ENJOY

usually i am just standing around and wanting to make something and i start pulling things out of the cabinets that seem like they might go well together, before this was a flop, i did basically same thing but with marshmellow fluff centers. tasted great but the fluff came bursting out the sides so not so pretty lol. but thats the fun part not being sure if its gonna work or not lol
