Cupcakes in a Jar

You have got to try these 4 ingredient peanut butter filled cupcakes in a jar!! They are ooey and gooey topped with chocolate gelato and are a little jar full of Heaven. Served in mini mason jar they’re a fun dessert.

Ok, so it is summertime and what do you think of when the sun starts blazing and you have some extra time off with your kids….ice cream atop a yummy dessert right??!! We had a “fun at home” kinda’ day this week which means we stay in our jammies and hang out together without leaving the house. Sometimes those are the best kind of days right. 😉 My girls and I love baking and I definitely passed along my love for desserts to them (chocolate tops the list), so we thought we’d make something yummy and cute. That’s when these 4 ingredient peanut butter filled cupcakes in a jar were born. This is a sponsored post for HemisFares™ brand that is available exclusively at Kroger family of stores.  All opinions are honest and 100% my own.

Can you taste them already?

Totally ooey and gooey inside topped with creamy chocolate smoothness on top, they’re Heaven I tell you.

If you have only made cupcakes in a muffin pan you MUST try them this way! I love easy, so instead of adding in the list of ingredients on the side of the cake box I just added a can of soda to the mix…done!! Believe me, they turn out amazing.

Small mason jars are a fun container to use, and they are reusable too…we love that. You don’t need to fill them with peanut butter but oh my goodness it is so wonderful if you do. You could substitute hot fudge instead of peanut butter, either way you can’t go wrong.

They are the perfect size for everybody, and the outer rim keeps the HemisFares chocolate gelato right on top and allows it to kind of seep inside the cupcake when it begins to melt. YUM!

Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 2 containers HemisFares chocolate gelato (or flavors of your choice to top when done)
• 1/2 c chocolate chips * optional - but delicious
• 1 c creamy peanut butter
• 1 can soda (dark soda is best, or use ingredients on cake mix to make batter)

Instructions

• Mix together well your box of cake mix and can of soda. Mix until there are no lumps remaining.
• Fold in your chocolate chips.
• Spray lightly the inside of small mason jars (4 oz size) and put 1/2 c. of batter (don't fill more than 1/2 way full since they will rise) in each one. Put all on a cookie sheet and put in the oven.
• Bake in the oven for 27 minutes or so at 350 degrees or until cupcakes spring back when touched gently in the middle...do NOT over bake.
  
• When slightly cooled use a small spoon or apple corer and make a hole in the center of your cupcakes. Spoon a small spoonful of peanut butter into the center of each one.
• Scoop Hemisfares chocolate gelato on to each one and add a bit of sprinkles if you wish. Enjoy!!

If you’ve never tried HemisFares gelato they come in a cute little package in the freezer aisle at your local Kroger grocery store, and there are 6 different flavors. Each variety is made with local ingredients and milk from 100% grass-fed cows, then slow-churned for a creamy, smooth flavor.

There are a variety of flavors but for these peanut butter filled cupcakes in a jar I wanted chocolate!!

You really can’t have enough chocolate so yes the cake mix is as well, I added chocolate chips into the batter, AND I topped them off with a rich scoop of their chocolate gelato to make it go from delicious to just out of this world!

The kids got a kick out of our dessert and it was a fun afternoon together. If you’re ready for amazing flavors check out the chocolate (pistachio is fabulous too) gelato from HemisFares at Kroger the next time you’re headed to the grocery store. On top of these cute cupcakes in a jar, or straight out of the carton it’s a yummy treat packed with flavor.
