Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes Recipe
I love to bake and decorate cakes, but sometimes time just doesn’t allow that type of creativity. Instead of just plopping regular cupcakes on the table, why not give them a little twist that makes them spectacular?
This recipe tells you how to take a simple cake mix (any kind) and turn it into a fun hidden peanut butter cup masterpiece.

32 unwrapped Reese’s Miniature Peanut Butter Cups
1/2 cup softened Butter
1 cup Peanut Butter

Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
Prepare batter according to box directions.
Fill liners about 1/2 full with batter.
Place a Reese’s into each and gently press in place.
Bake 15-18 minutes.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
Cream together the butter and peanut butter.
Slowly adding in the sugar,it gets too thick then adding a little milk to thin.
Continue until all of the sugar is in and the frosting blended and right consistency.
