Reese’s Stuffed Cupcakes

This Reese’s Stuffed Cupcakes recipe is a dream come true for peanut butter and chocolate lovers

Ingredients

Scale

  • 24 Reese’s miniatures, unwrapped, divided
  • Devil’s food cake mix, prepared according to package instructions
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup melted chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make the Cupcakes

Prepare the Devil’s food cake mix according to the package instructions.

Fill each cupcake liner about three-quarters full with batter.

Place one unwrapped Reese’s Miniature in the center of each unbaked cupcake, pressing it down slightly into the batter.

Bake the cupcakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the Reese’s) comes out clean.

Step 3: Cool the Cupcakes

Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting.

Step 4: Make the Peanut Butter Frosting

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the peanut butter frosting. In a large bowl, cream together the creamy peanut butter and softened butter until light and fluffy.

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and beat until evenly combined.

Gradually add the heavy cream and beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Frost and Decorate

Frost the cooled cupcakes with the peanut butter frosting.

Top each cupcake with a Reese’s Miniature.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosted cupcakes.
