Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes (:

Baking always comes out of boredom for me. Week 2 of spring break is proving to be equally, if not more, boring than week one. Since my birthday is tomorrow, I wanted to make something to give to people on my special day and to share (: They were super simple & took under an hour.

cupcake ingredients:
1 box devils food cake mix (plus ingredients to make cake mix)
1 bag mini reeses cups
cupcake liners

cupcake directions:
1. make cake mix according to box directions.
2. spoon batter into cupcake liners.
3. place one peanut butter cup in each cupcake, lightly on top of the batter. they will sink while baking.
4. bake cupcakes according to box directions.
5. remove from oven, place on cooling rack.
6. decorate with peanut butter frosting (recipe below) and peanut butter cup pieces. Enjoy!

peanut butter frosting:
mix 5 tablespoons butter (room temp), 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar & 3/4 tsp vanilla until smooth. place in pastry bag or plastic bag & pipe onto cupcakes. Enjoy!
