Peanut-Butter Chocolate Cupcakes & Mr Froggy

This morning we had a visitor..........

Look how small he is next to Harvey!!!!

Harvey was absolutely delighted by the visit!! He named said frog Mr Froggy (very original) and has been in a great mood all day (please come back tomorrow Mr Froggy)

As my littl'un has been such a joy today I decided to make him a little treat (and use him as a guinea pig for my idea)

Just as I was frosting my cakes my dad decided to pop in and so I had 2 guinea pigs and 4 thumbs up!!!

I only made 6 cupcakes so this recipe will seem minimal but just double the quantities for 12 cakes, and so on.............

Really simple chocolate cakes with peanut butter frosting...
