Peanut Butter Cups
Description
Happy Father’s Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful day celebrating or remembering their loved ones. I am so grateful for my own wonderful Dad who never fails to tell me every cake I feed him is “the best cake he’s ever had”. As an extra special cupcake topper, I made homemade peanut butter cups! A delicious salty and sweet treat on its own or the perfect accompaniment to my peanut butter chocolate cupcakes. Enjoy making these peanut butter cups at home, or if you are interested, these gourmet cupcakes are now available to order locally at nomemadegf.com/order. My dad is not usually a big frosting guy, but he ate every bite of this one. Thank you and happy baking!
