Reese's Stuffed Cupcakes!

Reese's Stuffed Cupcakes!

This is a recipe I came up with at last minute for my brother's birthday party. He loves Reese's peanut butter cups and cupcakes, so I thought, why not put them together? It can't possibly taste bad! Sure enough, they were delicious. The kids loved them. I also added a little bit of peanut butter to the frosting to create a more peanut buttery taste. But that is entirely up to you! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• Your choice of cake mix (in my experience chocolate works best)
• You will also need all the ingredients to prepare your mix. Eggs, water, oil, etc.
• 12 unwrapped Mini Reese's peanut butter cups
• Your choice of frosting (again, in my experience chocolate frosting has worked best)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Prepare cake mix as instructed.
3. After greasing a cupcake pan, fill each cup about 1/4 full. 
4. Make sure the peanut butter cups are free of any wrappers and lightly push them into the mix. Do not push them all the way to the bottom of the pan.
5. Use the rest of the mix to cover each of the peanut butter cups all the way.
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes (depending on which mix you have)
7. Cool the cupcakes thoroughly, frost, and serve!

Mini Peanut Butter Pies!

Peanut Butter Pie!

If you love Peanut Butter, then you probably love peanut butter pie as well. It is thick, rich, and delicious. This recipe is a lighter recipe, using cool whip instead of whipping cream. You are welcome to use a light cream cheese. You can also use light chocolate syrup if you would like to decorate them! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, melted

• 2 (8 ounce) containers frozen whipped topping, thawed

• 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust (homemade or store bought) (I used 12 small homemade graham cracker crusts in a cupcake pan)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

2. Beat in the peanut butter and melted chocolate. 

3. Fold in one container of whipped topping.

4. Pour into crust(s) and top with the other container of whipped topping.

5. Decorate with whatever you want!

6. Refrigerate about 2 hours before serving.
