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 this and the cake part was good! But the frosting was to hard to frost and i just really didn’t like making this!

Add a little water to frosting for easy piping. I didn’t count my Reese’s cups ahead of time so I cut them in half with no decor, oh well!

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!
