Peanut butter and chocolate are a pair that just belongs together! This Peanut Butter Oreo Frosting combines creamy peanut butter frosting with crushed Oreo cookies to give it a creamy, crunchy irresistible texture and flavor!
There is something about me and being late for birthdays. I rarely seem to remember in enough time to give a happy birthday wish on time! It is about the only thing I am ever late for though, I promise you that! My friend Theresa had a birthday recently. But since it was a weekend (and Theresa is my work friend) then she is being wished happy birthday today and will be receiving these yummy cupcakes. Happy Birthday Theresa! Hope it was great and hope you enjoy the cupcakes! I'm pretty sure she will forgive me for being late to the party when she takes a bite of these moist chocolate cakes frosted with Peanut Butter Oreo Frosting! The cupcake I made was my Nanny's Mayonnaise Cupcakes which is my go to chocolate cupcake recipe.
What combinations or mix in's would you add to this peanut butter frosting to make it special?

peanut butter, chocolate and oreos all in a cupcake... that sounds amazing! I love how you decorated the cupcakes and topped them with oreos. You know how much I love chocolate and peanut butter too 🙂
