These chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting are a perfect sweet surprise for your special someone. What’s great about this recipe is that it makes just enough for two people. And it’s super easy and fast to whip up!

Adorned with peanut butter cookies, these moist chocolate cupcakes are delicious and make the house smell so good while baking. Your sweetheart will be sad you only made enough for two! But let’s face it, sometimes we don’t want to make a whole batch of 12 cupcakes. I don’t know about you, but I don’t always have enough self-control to make a whole batch of cupcakes.

I adore Valentine’s Day. Loaded with all things girly, this holiday is definitely one of my favorites. I love all things girly and romantic. Almost as much as I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

Did I mention the cookies are also loaded with peanut butter M&M’s? Oh yeah. I went there. I just had to add a pinch more of that yummy sweetness you get from combing peanut butter and chocolate! You and your loved one won’t be able to resist the chocolatey goodness combined with the creamy peanut butter frosting and soft cookies.
