What defines a cupcake? Is it the shape? The texture? The frosting? Because while these might look like mini-cupcakes, I don't think I'd consider them cupcakes. They are brownies, through and through. With that in mind, it must be a combination of hand-held shape and cake-like texture that truly makes something a cupcake. But these, cupcake or not, are delicious. Based off of the delicious and oh-so-decadent Crunchy Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownies, but instead of one big pan of brownies, I went the bite sized route and made them in mini muffin tins. Maybe not the best choice, as frosting one large pan of something is much more efficient than frosting 3 dozen tiny little somethings, but once you eat one, you won't care one way or the other. This is the halved version of the recipe, and it made 3 dozen. Unless you really want 70 of these suckers, I'd stick with that. Have leftover peanut butter mixture and chocolate? Make peanut butter cups! Simply spread a thin layer of chocolate
