I feel kind of bad.
I have been sitting on these cupcakes for weeks now.
Okay, technically I obviously have not been sitting on them. No, that is just nasty. Plus, they were demolished the second I shot the last photo……
Which was exactly twenty-six days ago. I know, I am so sorry, and also completely shocked, that I am just now posting them.
I mean, I have never, not once held on to a post that long. This is for sure a record. Meaning this never, ever, happens. Normally you guys see posts a couple days after I make something. Sometimes I’ll even post it the very next day. When that happens it means I am crazy excited about whatever the posted food is. Meaning it’s crazy good and I cannot contain, nor control, my excitement. Meaning I must blab on and on about it the very next day.
If you can believe it, I actually have one more post that I made a few weeks ago while I was still home in Colorado. I really tried to crank a lot of recipes out while I had the time and had no dirty boys begging for food every hour. Honestly, I’m still shocked that I have not told you guys about these yet…
Because honestly, these are so stinkin’ good.
Like crazy insane, rock your world good.
I just wish I still had at least a few. Cause I promise I can so remember what these cupcakes tasted like.
I made them the day before I went to South Carolina.
This meant I had twelve cupcakes and me. Now sure, I probably could have downed them all myself. No I could have, but I did not want to end up with a giant stomach ache all night and then have to get up and get on an airplane at three in the morning.
So I did the nicer and smarter thing and gave a few to the worker dudes next door.
Remember them?
Yeah, they really liked me after that.
Pretty sure the next day when I made these burgers they were looking over wishing I was giving those to them too, but my brother ate those.
Sorry guys. Maybe if you guys are still around in August when I get home you’ll get some then.
These cupcakes have it all going on.
The sweet, the salty, the peanutty and even the boozy.
Ah yes, you better believe I added at least a little scotch to my butter scotch sauce. It is obviously totally optional, but highly recommended.
Oh and the frosting is amazing!!
So good. Just make it. Eat with a spoon and go to your happy place.
Seriously, though these cupcakes will become your happy place.
And yes, I know I am asking you to turn on your oven for these, but I promise they are worth every ounce of sweat you drip to make them.

Can’t even help it. I must make more (especially after my mom sees this post, then I really won’t have a choice). Really, I must.
Looks amazing! I have a question regarding if you have a peanut allergy, would you be able to make this with almond butter instead?
Hey Lisa,
Yes, I think almond butter would work well here. I hope you enjoy the recipe, please let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
I made these tonight and they are yummy but they did not have a cake like texture. They were more dense nearer to a muffin or cookie . Did I do something wrong?
Hmm, I am not sure. Did you follow the recipe as written?
This cupcakes looks delicious…can you share with me how to make the cute mini pretzels?;)
Thanks so much! I bought the pretzels at the store. Sorry, I have no idea how to make them.
Salut!
These cupcakes look amazing and I plan on baking them this weekend. I just have a couple of questions :
1. Did you double the chocolate-pretzel combo in order for them to look this way? Seems like you would need 48 not 24. Do you double the chocolate as well?
2. Can I use a chunky peanut butter in the cupcake?
Thanks for your answer!
BTW made your sugarey popcorn cupcakes last week and they were AMAZING!!!! Vraiment trop bon 🙂

This is such a refreshing idea, I like these cupcakes very much.I’ve featured this recipe on my blog, hoping that you don’t mind, but if you do, please contact me and I’ll remove it. All the best.
Hi Vera! So glad you like these and thanks for sharing!
Hi! The cupcake says 1/4 cup of canola oil but instructions say cream butter and peanut butter together? Can I get clarification? Thanks! Making them now!
It is a 1/4 cup canola oil, not butter (but if you used butter, no big deal). Just mix the canola oil with the peanut butter as directed. I just fixed the recipe.
Hope these turn out great for you!
Perfect, thank you! Used canola oil and they are in the oven as we speak! Yum!
Hope they turned out awesome!!
Oooh girl! Totally drooling over here 🙂 Pinned and featuring tonight!
Thank you so much, Trish!!! I still need to stop by an link up!
Can’t get enough of the salty/sweet combination, these look wonderful!! Thanks for linking up to What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Thank you, Karly!
