UPGRADED Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Puff

Okay, so every now and again (well, let's be honest, I'm obsessed with improving recipes, even mine) I find a flaw in a recipe and set out to improve it.  This post is an improvement to the previous post on chocolate/banana cupcakes.
First off, leave out the hershey kisses.  Instead, but one can of chocolate frosting.  Once you've filled each liner 1/2 way with batter, spoon in about 1tsp frosting, then bake as directed.  This makes and explosion of gooey goodness in the center of the cupcake!  DELISH!  Top off with some Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, and you are ready to party!
Although in the previous post I suggested that it might be acceptable to use a can cream cheese frosting, I am resigning that statement, because it is not- here's the recipe.. so easy and SOO much tastier!
*2 8oz packages cream cheese
*1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
*3 cups powdered sugar
*1 tsp vanilla
*1/2 cup peanut butter
Combine all together and whip for a good 3-5 minutes until nice and fluffy.  Now, wasn't that worth it??  :)
