I think we can all deduce from the title that these are not a particularly healthy cupcake. They fall firmly in the 'sometimes' category.
That being said, they are freaking delicious. I could eat them every single day for a week and not be sick of them.
They are surprisingly not-very-sweet, given the coke and the amount of sugar in them, and the peanut butter adds a really yummy creaminess to each mouthful. I think the cake:icing ratio is important - not enough icing would make for a less satisfying cake.
The little sprinkle of sea salt on top (just to help the heart attack get here sooner) is a nice tangy detail, and really, who doesn't love sprinkles?
Would I make them again? Absolutely yes, but they can't become my go-to cupcake since so many people have nut allergies. This is a big problem for me, since I like to bake, eat a little, keep a litle for home and send the rest to kindy or M's work. Peanuts make this a stay-at-home treat, and I don't need a dozen of these sittig around my house.
On the other hand, the cake is so moist and delicious that perhaps another batch, with a different kind of icing, warrants a taste test.
