It took me longer to get this up then I wanted, but here it is. We had a potluck at work two Fridays ago, so what did I bring? Cupcakes, of coarse! I thought mini cupcakes would be perfect for a potluck since it’s a small bite (or two) and other people would also bring dessert. I also wanted to add a little something more then normal and I recently found this blog – bakeitinacake.com – and so I thought I’d try it. Recently I made mini chocolate cupcakes (I got the recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World) with peanut butter frosting for a friend and I thought it would be perfect with a mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup inside! (My hubby got me the ones without a wrapper.)
I spooned in about 3/4 of the batter into the cups and then added the mini Reese's.
Then I covered the Reese's with a spoonful of batter. I am not sure this was really necessary because the candy just sinks to the bottom (see photo at the end). I saw this posted on someone's facebook page. It looks like the candy stills sinks towards the bottom, but maybe not as far as without it.
This frosting is the BEST. It tastes like a nutter butter. Soo good!
Peanut Butter Frosting (enough for 24 mini cupcakes)
1 stick unsalted butter; room temp
1/3 cup peanut butter; room temp
~1 tsp vanilla
1 - 2 cups sifted powdered sugar (I always like less sugar)
~ 2 tbsp heavy cream
Beat butter and peanut butter until creamed together. (I like using a stand mixer.)
Mix in vanilla. Sift powdered sugar into bowl and mix until well combined. Add heavy cream to desired consistency.
