TASTES LIKE REESE'S® CHOCOLATE-FILLED PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES

Tastes Like Reese's® Chocolate-Filled Peanut Butter Cupcakes image

My sister and her friends were over when I made these imitation Reese's® peanut butter cup cupcakes, and they disappeared! Recipe is borrowed from the Jell-O® website, but I didn't want to make the cakes peanut butter and jelly, so I went for peanut butter and chocolate instead.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup cold water
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch, or more to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
Combine cake mix, cold water, peanut butter, pudding mix, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
When the cupcakes are almost fully cooled, stir confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl. Add cocoa and cornstarch and stir until desired consistency; eyeballing it works well for icing.
Cut out a square in the top of each cooled cupcake. Fill with icing.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
If you don't have a cupcake pan, you can bake the cupcakes in a 9x13 inch baking pan for about 25 minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
For a fun and festive touch, top the cupcakes with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup before serving.
