Time 30m

Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
48 miniature chocolate peanut-butter cups, such as Reese's
48 pieces candy corn, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two 24-cup mini muffin pans with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar on high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and egg yolk, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture, buttermilk, and vanilla until combined.
  • With the large end of a melon baller or a spoon, place 2 teaspoons batter into each muffin cup, then press a peanut-butter candy into each center until batter aligns with top edge of candy.
