Peanut Butter Caramel Cupcakes

ByLizzy Mae Early

The Story:

Halloween is over and we are headed into the BEST time of the year.  Literally count down the days until Thanksgiving (21 days) so that I can watch my favorite movie of all time, Miracle on 34th Street.  I watch the old and the new version every Thanksgiving after I stuff myself to the brim.

  6. Hi Lizzy, I love seeing what you’re up too on a daily basis and have made many of your fabulous cupcakes. Thanks for all the great inspiration, I can duplicate your cupcakes, but not your photography, the pictures are always stunning! I’m envious of your mad skills! I would like you to answer a question though….if you had to pick one..what is your ALL TIME FAVORITE-GO TO cupcake ( for yourself) ?
    Thanks!

  24. I made these over the weekend and loved them so much I wrote about them on my blog today (w/ a link back here for the recipe). Thanks for the great recipe!

  25. These look amazing! What do you use for the caramel though?? Ive tried melting caramels before and I’ve tried the caramel that you put on ice cream sundays, but they didn’t turn out right.

  26. I’d also like to know what kind of caramel works to drizzle over frosting. I’ve tried a homemade caramel, and even though it was cool, it seemed to draw moisture and made the frosting runny by morning. It was an absolute mess. Any suggestions?

  27. Drizzle caramel just before serving! I honestly just used a store bought ice cream caramel topping. But a thicker homemade caramel should work too.

  30. Hi Lizzy! Love your site.

    Say – could I make these cupcakes with a chocolate cupcake instead of a white or yellow cupcake?

    Thanks!

  32. Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
    that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. In any case
    I will be subscribing on your rss feed and I am hoping you write once more soon!

    My hubby gets horrible headaches when he eats chocolate, so I look for recipes that he can enjoy too… and that’s hard when looking for a dessert with peanut butter. At some point peanut butter cookies need to become cupcakes and I believe this recipe will will be made over and over for us.
    And just to go crazy with peanut butter, I’m also planning on making a 2nd batch by adding peanut butter to the cake part. I’ll let you know how that goes later. I think if I reduced the buttermilk, I’ll be able to add peanut butter and everything will work out. Any suggestions?
