Nutter Butter Stuffed Cupcakes w/PB Buttercream Frosting

Awhile back E mentioned that I should use Nutter Butter cookies in a brownie, cupcake or cookie and I looked for the cookies at the store and couldn't find them and I sort of forgot about the challenge of a Nutter Butter desssert until I took G with me to the grocery store. He was looking at some cookies on the bottom shelf and as I was seeing what he was pointing at, I noticed a package of Nutter Butters! I was so happy and tossed them in the basket.

I decided to make cupcakes with the Nutter Butters and adapted the Oreo cake receipe that I used for G's 7th birthday.
