Welcome to the 2012 Cupcake Carnival!
Here is a recipe that I made up & it turned out yummy!
I am all about the peanut butter/chocolate combo this pregnancy, so I thought I would make satisfy my craving with these cupcakes.
Your favorite chocolate cake mix & 24 Reese's miniatures.Mix cake mix according to package directions.
While you are mixing your cake, have your "helpers" unwrap 24 Reese's PB cups.
Pour your batter into cupcake liners.
Then, take your Reese's PB cups & place them in the middle of the cupcake.
Bake the cupcakes according to your package directions.
***That is what I did when I made these. BUT, while they baked, they fell to the bottom of the cupcake & tasted slightly burnt, so next time I make these, I am going to freeze my PB cups for a few hours before I make the cupcakes & then put in frozen PB cups. I think this will help them not sink!***While the cupcakes are baking, make your frosting!
Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
1 box of powdered sugar1 stick of butter (at room temperature)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup of Peanut Butter (or 1/3 cup if you really like Peanut Butter)
Reeses mini's for a garnish
These were really good! If you really like peanut butter you could also add some Peanut Butter to your cake mix. And, if you don't have Reese's PB mini's you could always chop up the PB cups & use those as a garnish!Enjoy!

Hey Mel, I just found you through Kelly's blog... I just made something with Reese's the other week too...must be in the hormonal water...ha
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate and peanut butter and I am not even currently pregnant! Thanks for the recipe and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYUM! And I need to link up to this (I know, I know... I keep saying that). Cupcakes are one of my very favorite things :)
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere recently that if you are adding something like a hershey kiss/pb cup that you should cook the cupcakes for 5 minutes and then take them out and drop the chocolate in to the middle and then resume baking until done.
