Instructions

Cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line cupcake pan with liners and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine all of the cupcake ingredients, making sure to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Add a scant ¼ cup of batter to each liner so they’re about ¾ full.
  • Reduce heat to 350°F and bake the cupcakes for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes sit in the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
  • Use a cupcake corer to core the cupcakes, fill the holes with mini Reese's Pieces.

Frosting:

  • While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the Peanut Butter Frosting as indicated in the recipe instructions.
  • Pipe frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Top each cupcake with a Reese's cup.
  • For added wow, Use a small frosting tip to frost the Reese's cup!
