Pin it for Later:

No Buttermilk in your Fridge? Whisk 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice into 1/4 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes, than, proceed as noted in recipe.

Peanut Butter: I recommend using a regular peanut butter instead of the natural variety. The natural variety is delicious, but, has a higher oil content. This could affect the consistency of your glaze.

Want Extra Crunch? Top your cupcakes with crushed peanuts before the glaze sets.
