In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, peanut butter and sugar with electric stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla; beat well.
Add the flour mixture alternately with milk, beating until combined. Divide batter evenly between baking cups.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pan on cooling grid 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely.
For glaze, in shallow saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer; remove from heat.
Place chocolate and cream in small heat-proof dish or bowl and set in saucepan of hot water. Let sit in water bath 2-3 minutes, then gently stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended.
Remove chocolate from hot water; stir in butter. Let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to spread onto cupcakes. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.
