Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line pans with cupcake paper.

To make the batter, Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes.

To make the filling, combine the confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and set aside on a baking sheet.

Spoon batter into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Place a ball of the peanut butter filling in each cupcake well and top with the remaining batter so that all the cups are filled.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place the confectioners sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until creamy, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as you work. Add the cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and smooth. Frost cupcakes.

If desired, decorate with peanut bits and place a piece of peanut butter cup on top.

Open them up so that the flesh is facing up.

Season the interior of the fish with salt and pepper, half the garlic, half the chopped basil, and half the parsley.

Top each fish with thin slices of butter, three basil sprigs, and a few slices of lemon.

Squeeze lemon juice over each fish.

Secure the fish (and seasoning with foil), and then wrap each fish in an additional piece of aluminum foil.

Place fish in the coals of a campfire or on a grill over a flame and cook for about 7 minutes on each side.
