I’m kinda obsessed with recreating childhood favorites
And topping the list for me was definitely the Funny Bone!
Funny Bone Cupcakes are even better than the original snack cake
With my best vegan recipe for chocolate cupcakes stuffed with peanut butter cream and fudge icing.
Your first bite will take you back to memory lane and have you going back for seconds!
That thin layer of ganache and creamy peanut butter filling is what life is all about!
Pure joy in cupcake form!
Notes for Success:
I like to use peanut butter powder to make peanut butter buttercream, but if you do not have that you can use creamy peanut butter in the same amounts
For a really unique spin on this classic cake, try using my 2-2-2 shelf stable, no refrigerator required, Cream Cheese Icing with peanut butter added!
The original recipe for this funny bone cupcake as shown in the video below used my Fudge Brownie Cupcake recipe instead of chocolate cake
With my bakery recipe for fudge icing instead of ganache
