Eating through Irene...

Since Hurricane Irene is slowly making an appearance in our area, I decided it was time to do some baking. Shocker right ; )
I decided to try something new. Triple chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. I've never used the triple chocolate cake mix before and I have to say it was pretty good. To get a more rich chocolaty taste I melted a square of unsweetened bakers chocolate. The peanut butter icing came out amazing. It was simple to make and was very creamy. The recipe for the icing is below:
1 cup confectionery sugar
1 cup peanut butter
5 Tbs butter
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup heavy cream

Mix all ingredients except for heavy cream until smooth. Then beat in heavy cream. I wanted the icing slightly thicker so I added some corn starch until I got it to the consistency I wanted.
