These cupcakes were a disaster! The chocolate cake was overcooked and the peanut butter filling was runny. I had to throw the whole batch away.

I thought these cupcakes were just okay. The chocolate cake was a little dry and the peanut butter filling was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't make them again.
