Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

With chopped peanuts and melted milk chocolate on top, these moist peanut butter cupcakes feature small peanut butter cups inside. I was trying to find a recipe for chocolate-peanut butter cupcakes that weren’t too high in calories but were still tasty and a respectable size. I made my own because I couldn’t seem to find what I was looking for. All of my relatives and friends loved these! Hope everyone has fun. I’m very hungry!

Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 24
Yield: 24 cupcakes

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup brown sugar
  2. ½ cup butter
  3. ¼ cup peanut butter
  4. 2 eggs
  5. 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  6. 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
  7. ½ cup milk
  8. ½ cup water
  9. 48 mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (such as Reese’s®)
  10. 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  11. ⅛ cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Combine brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.
  3. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Slowly beat into the creamed mixture. Pour in milk and water; stir until batter is thick and smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tins. Press 2 mini peanut butter cups into each cupcake.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm and begin to pull away from the sides of the tin, 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Pile 15 to 20 chocolate chips over each cupcake. Return to the oven until chocolate chips start to melt, about 1 minute. Spread melted chocolate over the cupcakes and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
