7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
10. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
11. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
12. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the peanut butter frosting.
13. Decorate with halved mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped peanuts, or chocolate sprinkles. This will create the perfect peanut butter cupcakes.
