Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Mini Cupcakes (Whole Wheat)

My friend Julie from Jam's Corner made some delicious looking cupcakes, Reese's Surprise Mini Cupcakes.  Now what is better than Chocolate and Peanut Butter in a cupcake, a mini one at that; you can just pop that in your mouth for a delightful treat.  So I wanted to make these cupcakes but with my healthy ingredients.  Well I forgot to pick up some Reese Cups when I went grocery shopping, so I had to compromise.  So I had peanut butter and chocolate chips so I just made due with those extra ingredients.  These mini cupcakes came out GOOD! and I used the recipe Julie did, but just used my healthy ingredients.  So without further ado.
