Steps:
- Put the Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer for at least 1 hour
- Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases
- To make the sponge, mix together the butter, peanut butter and golden caster sugar, ideally using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes
