These cupcakes were amazing. I even made my own peanut butter frosting which worked really well. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 to 1 cup cold milk
1 tbsp. Hershey's caramel syrup
1/2 to 1 tbsp Hershey's chocolate syrup

Preparation:
Add peanut butter, milk and brown sugar. Mix well. Add caramel, mix, then add chocolate, mix. Spread on cupcakes and serve.

There will be extra frosting after the 12 cupcakes are frosted so you can put it in a tight container and refrigerate it until needed. If not used within 1 week of being made throw it away. I also topped the cupcakes with nuts and extra Hershey's caramel but that is optional.

I loved this recipe. I babysit little children and they love to help me bake goodies and this is one of their favorites and mine too. So easy anyone can do it and by far one of the best cupcakes I've tasted!

I doubled the batch but kept the milk to 2/3 cup because the batter was already a little runny after that first 2/3rd cup of milk. They turned out great, a nice dense spongy texture. Didn't have that commercial cupcake taste/texture. My boys loved them with a little chocolate frosting and sprinkles!

Just made these and they are GREAT! we used the half recipe to make just six and it was perfect. Both my husband and I devoured them. Oh wow. We topped with a thin layer of whipped vanilla frosting and we were in heaven. Thinking chocolate hips might be interesting to add in a future batch (and there will be many). This is so easy and so quick and so, so good!

I used shortening instead of butter, as I was out. They turned out tasting just fine, maybe a little heavier than they would have been with butter. I got a bakers dozen out of this mix.. So I had an extra for a "taste test" when they were finished. They taste just like a butter cookie mmm.

I LOVE THIS RECIPE! It is the best cupcake recipe I have ever found!! But do u have to put the eggs in one at a time? Whats the point of that? ~gracie~

Very nice cupcakes. Turned out very moist and everyone loved them.

I tried this recipe and found that it is the best among all vanilla cupcakes. It is soft and delicious. I love it.

Amazing! Definitely the best recipe of vanilla cupcakes I've ever tried! I used self-rising flour without salt and these were still great!! You should definitely use this recipe if a light and fluffy vanilla cupcake is your main goal!

These cupcakes are the bomb :) My family loved them all I did was double because I have a big family. Thanx ~Maria

This recipe is so amazing!! We loved it:) we didn't have vanilla extract so we used almond extract instead and it still tasted amazing!!! Thank you for this recipe we will use it again and again :):):)

I needed a simple cupcake recipe for my son's 2 year old birthday party at his daycare. I stumbled upon this one and it was soooo easy. I used whole wheat flour which made them a bit dense, but a tad healthier and tasted just as yummy.
Thanks!

I wanted to make cupcakes but didn't have a cake mix so I tried this recipe........ DELICIOUS!!!!.. I will keep using it.... Do you have a great icing recipe too.....

Super easy! Only thing is I would make a little extra because the recipe didn't fill the twelve cupcakes completely - they didn't rise too high, making frosting them awkard :/

I love this recipe! But I altered it just a little by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to it. And by using half granulated sugar, and half brown sugar for sugar portions of the recipe. And I love the taste they are fabulous!
