Chocolate Peanut Butter 'Box' Cupcakes

If you use store-bought vanilla frosting it is impossible to pipe out of the bag. Instead, I rolled out the vanilla frosting and peanut butter mixture and used a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Also, the video says to cook the cupcakes at 350° and the instructions say to cook the cupcakes at 375°. I cooked them at 375° and they came out fine.

I made these and they were so much fun! After reading the other tips, I was hesitant to use box icing. I used box chocolate cake just to make it quick but I used homemade vanilla icing. I found a recipe I liked online and then just added the peanut butter until I liked the taste. It was so easy and they came out great!

I agree with the other comments on here that the peanut butter frosting was quite thick, but if you add a little water to it, not too much, just add a little and mix to your preferred thickness. This did great for me! Totally recommend this recipe for Reese’s lovers!

Super easy to make. I followed other suggestions and made an easy peanut butter frosting from scratch.
