Light and Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting
A light and fluffy and fabulously delicious peanut butter frosting covers the chocolate cupcakes. The peanut butter frosting alone is worth making the recipe. I couldn’t keep my fingers out of the bowl. 🙂 Don’t tell my personal trainer about it or I’ll be doing Burpees until the cows come home. To get even more Reese’s goodness, I sprinkled the frosting with Reese’s Pieces.

Double Reese’s Cupcakes Recipe Tips:
Freezing the peanut butter cups keeps their shape intact so that they form a nice bottom layer instead of melting into the batter.
A box of cake mix is used to make this recipe quick and easy. Either Devil’s Food Cake Mix or chocolate cake mix can be used.
Place just a spoonful of batter in the bottom of each cupcake liner and then place the peanut butter cup on top. The batter will keep the peanut butter cup from sticking to the liner.
Storage
Can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days or in the refrigerator for a little longer.
