My man loves Nutter Butter cookies so I thought these would be a fun way to enjoy them. I brought a batch of these to a bbq today and they were a hit. Very yummy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in cupcake tins.
Add first 6 dry ingredients into a bowl. Wish together to combine ensuring there are no lumps.
Add next 4 wet ingredients to bowl; stir to combine. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 25 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the frosting.
Peanut Butter Frosting
Beat together peanut butter, vanilla and powdered sugar (add one cup of the powdered sugar at a time, then beat the mixture – or your kitchen will be covered).
Add milk as needed to smooth out frosting. Frost cooled cupcakes.
Chocolate dipped Nutter Butters
Combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Microwave on 30 seconds, remove and stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir to combine until smooth.
Dip cookie half way into the chocolate, then lightly dip in crushed peanuts. Set on wax paper lined baking sheet.
