  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Peanut Butter Frosting:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and fluffy.

Assembly:

  1. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the peanut butter frosting onto each cupcake.
  2. Top each cupcake with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  3. Enjoy these delicious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcakes!

These cupcakes are a delightful treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. The combination of moist chocolate cupcakes, creamy peanut butter frosting, and the crunch of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups makes them irresistible.
