Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup cold water
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
  • Combine cake mix, cold water, peanut butter, pudding mix, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the cupcake liners to ensure consistent baking and uniform cupcake sizes.
  • Do not overfill the cupcake liners with batter, as they will rise and expand during baking. Fill each liner about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven to ensure they rise properly and bake evenly. The ideal temperature for baking these cupcakes is 350°F (175°C).
  • Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a cupcake to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready; if it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, they need to bake a little longer.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them to prevent the frosting from melting or becoming runny.
  • When making the frosting, use softened butter to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. Softened butter will also make it easier to incorporate the peanut butter and cream cheese.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For the peanut butter cups, use high-quality chocolate and peanut butter to ensure the best flavor. You can also use store-bought peanut butter cups if you prefer.
  • When dipping the cupcakes in the chocolate ganache, make sure the ganache is slightly cooled but still pourable. This will allow the ganache to evenly coat the cupcakes and create a smooth, glossy finish.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with Reese's surprise are a delightful indulgence that combines the classic flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with the added surprise of Reese's Pieces. The moist and fluffy cupcakes, creamy peanut butter frosting, and rich chocolate ganache make these cupcakes a perfect treat for any occasion.
