Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 14 muffin cups with paper muffin liners.
- Whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk, vegetable oil, 1 egg, and vanilla extract; mix using an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium and mix well.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly pour boiling water into flour mixture. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway and place a peanut butter cup in the center of each.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden and tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Whisk egg whites and sugar together in a bowl until just combined. Pour egg mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Return egg mixture to bowl. Whisk egg mixture on high speed until still peaks form.
- Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until peanut butter is thin and creamy. Gently fold melted peanut butter into egg whites. Transfer peanut butter frosting to a piping bag.
- Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
- Toast cupcakes under preheated broiler until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Steps:
- Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, beating all the while. Add in the whipped butter. The frosting may clump at this point if the butter is at all chilled. Don't worry, it just means that the frosting will require more beating. Beat until smooth.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Cool slightly; the chocolate should still be fairly warm. Beat into the butter frosting.

Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Meringue is made with raw egg whites, so it's important to use the freshest eggs you can find. This will help ensure that your meringue is stable and fluffy.
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily and create a stiffer meringue.
- Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed. This will help prevent the egg whites from overbeating and becoming grainy.
- Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming too sweet or grainy.
- Continue beating the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. This means that it will hold peaks when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- If you are using a stand mixer, be careful not to overbeat the meringue. Overbeaten meringue will become dry and crumbly.
- Use the meringue immediately after making it. Meringue can deflate if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Chocolate Meringue Frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, pies, and cupcakes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make a perfect Chocolate Meringue Frosting every time.
