Super Easy Peanut Butter-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes... Yummy!

• VANILLA CUPCAKES
• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box of betty crocker super moist vanilla cake mix
• 1 1/4 water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 whole eggs
• PEANUT BUTTER FILLING
• 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
• 3/8 cup butter, softened. (3/8 cup, for those beginner bakers, is an imaginary line right in half between the 1/4 sign, and the)
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. VANILLA CUPCAKES:
2. Follow the directions on the box.
3. Let cool in fridge while making the peanut butter filling.
4. PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:
5. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, the softened butter, and the vanilla.
6. Mix on medium (if you don't have a mixer, just go ahead and use a fork, not spoon!) until smooth.
7. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar while mixing.
8. Using a wooden spoon, scrape in any of the pwodered sugar that remained on side of bowl.
9. The mix may not be fully mixed together, so stick your hands in it and knead the mix until very smooth and doughy.
10. NOTE: If the mix is still a little too sticky, or isn't doughy enough to roll out, gradually add in a little bit of powdered sugar while kneading with hands.
11. FROSTING FOR CUPCAKES:
12. No need to tell you how to make the frosting if you did buy the kind in the plastic container! But I will tell you that if you use a wilton metal frosting spatula, it makes your frosting skills look a lot better, and it's more fun!
13. HOW TO FILL THE CUPCAKES:
14. Cut the top off of the cupcake and set aside.
15. Roll out about one fourth of the peanut butter mix.
16. Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of any area on the rolled out peanut butter dough.
17. Take a knife, and trace the amount of filling you will need to fit the top of that cupcake.
18. Cut it out, and place on top of cut cupcake.
19. Then place the cupcake top back on cupcake.
20. Frost, if desired.
