Equipment

  • Muffin tins
  • Cupcake liners
  • Wilton 1M piping tip

Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Cupcakes

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 Tablespoons plain Greek yogurt heaping
  • 30 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups divided

For the Peanut Butter Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 Tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 regular muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  • Mix together the cake mix, milk, eggs, oil and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  • Spoon batter into cupcake pans, filling the liners ½ full.
  • Place a Reese's PB cup into the center of the batter in each cup (it's okay if the the tops of the Reese's are showing, like photo above).
  • Bake cupcakes for 16-20 minutes or until done. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Beat together butter, and peanut butter and mix until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat again until combined.
  • Add milk and mix until light and fluffy. (Add more milk or powdered sugar if needed to make the frosting thicker or thinner).
  • Frost cupcakes (I used a wilton 1M tip in the photos above).
  • Chop up the remaining pieces of Reese's and gently press into frosting.
  • Store leftover cupcakes, covered, in the fridge for 3-4 days.
