Ingredients:
1 Box Pillsbury Chocolate Cake Mix (15.25 oz)
1 Package Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
4 Eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream (We used fat free)
1 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Water
Milk Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Frosting (from Our Best Bites)
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup real butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (ish) of vanilla
5-6 tablespoons of whole milk
Directions:
1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
2: In large bow, mix together all ingredients, except the chocolate chips. Beat for 2 minutes, or until combined well. Stir in chocolate chips. Use as many as desired (we used about 1.5 cups).
3: Scoop batter into cupcake liners until they are 3/4 full.
4: Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 19-21 minutes. (Ours baked for exactly 20 minutes and came out perfect!)
5: Let cool completely.
6: Frost with desired frosting. We love this recipe from Our Best Bites for fluffy peanut butter frosting.
7: Keep in fridge until serving. (They taste soooo good chilled!)
Seriously, so delicious. Looking for more cupcakes recipes? We also love making these cupcakes (when we don’t have a box mix handy) and these carrot cake cupcakes are to die for good. Happy baking!

I LOVE your new blog design!!! Did you do it yourself? I haven't touched my blog layout in years. It is so outdated and in need of a makeover. Your new design looks great!
