¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup sour cream

Instructions
1. Prepare the Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Mix in buttermilk and sour cream. Gradually add dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips, then distribute the batter evenly into the cupcake liners (filling about ¾ full).
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
2. Make the Gooey Filling:
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and melted chocolate until smooth.
Using a knife or piping tip, carve out the center of each cupcake. Fill with the gooey peanut butter mixture.
3. Decorate the Cupcakes:
Drizzle melted white chocolate, dark chocolate, and peanut butter over the cupcakes in a swirled pattern.
Top with mini Reese’s Pieces candies for crunch and extra flavor.
Let the cupcakes set before serving. Enjoy these ultra-rich, peanut butter-filled treats! 😍🍫🥜
