Ringing endorsement for Ron Bennington cupcake at Molly's Cupcakes

This photo comes to us from The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery, on their recent taste test of Chicago's cupcakes. This one couldn't have gotten a bigger thumbs up:

If you only get to taste one store-bought cupcake in your life, it should be the Ron Bennington. We went to Molly’s for the first time last summer which was the first time I tasted it, and it was just as fantastic the second time around - maybe even better. The cupcake was moist and rich, with a nice hunk of peanut butter in the center, delicious chocolate ganache on top and hits it home with the crunchy butterscotch topping. If you go to Chicago and fail to have one of these cupcakes - I’m not one to threat, but - I may have to beat you silly with an oven mitt.

Read the rest of their Chicago taste test (not all cupcakes, but there are some).

I had the Ron Bennington's Got his own cupcake cupcake flown in from Chicaaaago shortly after it was released. Possibly the best cupcake on the planet. Ronnie B's a genius, as are the kind folks at Molly's

The "Ron Bennington's Got His Own Cupcake" is my favorite cupcake anywhere. That topping is to die for. Dont miss this one!

The Fez Marie Whatley cupcake came in a close second. It was filled whith a white bavarian cream that shoots out onto your face upon the first bite. Delicious.

I know this post is about the chocolate peanut butter or whatever, but did you taste the plain vanilla? It's the best I've ever had. I've been trying to recreate the recipe for months now. I go into the shop at least once a week. If you have a clue as to what the recipe is do share.
