Chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting

Chocolate and peanut butter is the best combination of all time.  Combining them in a cupcake only seems fitting.  I just used a box cake mix and added a miniature Reese's cup to it.  Just bake the cupcakes like you normally would and set the Reese's in the middle.  DO NOT push it down, I did that once and the chocolate melts and burns at the bottom. The best part is the frosting, it's so yummy :)

tastes as good as it looks

Peanut Butter Frosting


Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
Half a stick of unsalted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Make it

With a mixer, beat peanut butter and butter together in large bowl until it is well combined and you can't see butter chunks anymore.  
Add the vanilla extract, and half of the milk and powdered sugar.  
Beat together until combined and then add the remaining milk and sugar.  
Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
