    QuantityIngredientAdd
    ½ c. Hy-Vee creamy peanut butter
    2 tbsp. Hy-Vee salted butter, softened
    7 c. Hy-Vee powdered sugar, divided
    ½ to ⅔ cup Hy-Vee 2% reduced-fat milk, divided

    Things To Grab

    • Large mixing bowl
    • Electric mixer
    • Apple corer, melon baller or pairing knife
    • Decorator bag filled with a large star tip

    Directions

    1. Place peanut butter and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar and ¼ cup of the milk; beat well. Slowly beat in another ¼ cup milk and the vanilla. Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar. Beat in enough of the remaining milk to reach piping consistency. Set peanut butter frosting aside.

    2. Using an apple corer, melon baller or paring knife, cut out a 1-in. cone from the center of each cupcake. Insert the tool about halfway down. Remove the cones and trim ½ inch off the cone bottoms; set aside.

    3. Fill each cupcake center with a heaping tsp. of jelly. Reposition reserved cone pieces to cover jelly centers.

    4. Place peanut butter frosting in a decorator bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe frosting onto each cupcake. Stir remaining jelly until softened and spoon some over each cupcake. Sprinkle with peanuts and, if desired, salt.
