REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES

When Halloween came and went, I had a bunch of Reese’s Miniature candies leftover. Not quite as many trick-or treaters this past year. What was a girl to do? I made a yummy No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake. And I also made these super simple Reese’s in the middle cupcakes. I meant to share these cupcakes with you in November and got very busy with the holidays. So they are now finally getting put on the blog.

Since I used a cake mix that I had on hand, these are super simple. Cake mixes can really speed up the process when I am just needing to make a quick dessert. I made a super yummy peanut butter icing to put on top.

I added a Reese’s miniature into the bottom of each cupcake, baked, iced, and then topped with some chopped Reese’s. So cute and so yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter go so well together:)
