This recipe is from Eat More Of What You Love by Marlene Koch. If you don't have one of her cookbooks you should get one, her recipes are great and healthy!

Ingredients

• 1 recipe 90-Calorie Chocolate Cupcakes - see recipe in my collection
• 1 recipe Chocolate Fudge Glaze - see recipe in my collection
• 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
• 2 tbsp light cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tbsp granulated no-calorie sweetener (I use Splenda)
• 1/3 cup light whipped topping, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

Bake the cupcakes according to recipe directions. Let cool.

Prepare the Chocolate Fudge Glaze according to the recipe and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and sweetener. Gently fold in the whipped topping.

To fill the cupcakes I use a pastry bag with the large flower tip. I fill the pastry bag with this filling and then stick the pastry tip through the top of the cupcake until it's all the way in the cupcake (not touching the bottom) then I squeeze the filling into the cupcake as I pull up the pastry tip. Once the filling is to the top of the cupcake I stop. This puts about 1 1/2 tsp of filling into the cupcake.

Fill each cupcake and then frost with 2 tsp of Chocolate Fudge Glaze.
