{Chubby Hubby Cupcakes} Malted Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting

{Chubby Hubby Cupcakes} Malted Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting

Malted vanilla cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting, chocolate peanut butter frosting and a chocolate covered pretzel! The taste of America!

While on honeymoon in the states last year, I was able to try out lots of Ben & Jerry’s flavours that we don’t have here in the UK (SO UNFAIR!). I sampled Red Velvet Cake (weirdly not great at all), Cinnamon Buns (yummy) and Chubby Hubby (to die for!). Chubby Hubby is ‘Vanilla malt ice cream with peanutty fudge covered pretzels with fudge and peanut buttery swirls’.

If you ever go to America (if you live there already you don’t know how lucky you are to have this ice cream in your life! And to be able to live in a white clapboard house (see my pinterest board of my dream houses here).

  Follow Kerry {KerryCooks.com}’s board Gorgeous homes on Pinterest.

So these cupcakes are that ice cream, in cake form! The base is a malty vanilla cupcake, which is topped with a layer of peanut butter cream cheese frosting, another layer of chocolate cream cheese frosting, and finally a chocolate covered salted pretzel! Enjoy!

For the cupcakes
  1. 130g unsalted butter
  2. 300g caster sugar
  3. 3 large eggs
  4. 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  5. 250g plain flour
  6. 1 tsp baking powder
  7. 100g horlicks powder
  8. 284ml buttermilk
  9. 100g chocolate chips
For the frosting
  1. 170g unsalted butter
  2. 3 tbsp peanut butter (Crunchy or smooth)
  3. 250g icing sugar
  4. 3 tbsp double cream
  5. 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  6. large pinch salt
  7. 50g plain chocolate
  8. For the top
  9. Salted pretzels
  10. 50g plain chocolate
For the cupcakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 160c and fill a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a stand mixer or in a large bowl, combine the soft butter with the caster sugar and beat 3-5 minutes, until very soft and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each egg. Add the salt and vanilla.

Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and fill each cupcake liner two thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and spring back when gently pressed.
For the peanut butter frosting

    I had no idea that you didn’t have Ben & Jerry’s in the UK!? ‘Chubby Hubby’ is SO good. I mean, there are few combinations that equal peanut butter + chocolate + pretzel πŸ™‚ I also recommend the ‘Half Baked’ flavor and ‘Phish Food’ (this was my favorite during high school!)

    I’ve really wanted to make some cupcakes lately. Maybe for Father’s Day?

    Oh, that sounds divine to me!! I would love one or two right now, with my coffee πŸ˜‰

    I missing peanut butter a lot… my younger one has peanut allergy so we are not allowed any products in the house, I also hardly ever eat peanuts out of the house not to bring any traces, just in case.

    i too thought this was something you have been giving your husband and fattening him up! Lol! Why don’t we get all those amazing flavours over here, it is so unfair. Love the cupcakes with two different frostings, they sound delicious x

    The title of you’re post did make me chuckle Kerry, but then as I read more I realised that you weren’t actually saying anything about your betrothed. Cracking name though! I think we should get a petition together to DEMAND that B&J bring these flavours to this side of the pond. The Cinnamon bun one sounds good to me.
    The buns look divine! As always πŸ™‚

    Yup, not showing these to Mr VB Kerry! Hahaha, if he even gets a whiff of these cupcakes I’ll be down at the supermarket buying pretzels and Horlicks before I have time to breathe!
    Great name, I’ve never heard of that flavour, it seems perfectly named!
    Loving the two-tone frosting too ❀︎

    I was wondering what you’d use t9 make it malty but Horlicks powder makes so much sense πŸ™‚ these do look awesome and I love that they are based on a Ben and Jerry’s flavour. It just gutting we don’t get it here πŸ™

      I know, it’s so disappointing! I also still miss the vermonster. But on the other hand, if we did have them I may weight a lot more!
