How to make Double Stuffed Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes 

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place muffin cupcake liners into muffin tins.
2. In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk for about 45 seconds.
3. Using a mixer, in a large bowl add the peanut butter, oil, and brown sugar and beat until combined.
4. Add eggs and maple syrup or vanilla extract and continue beating until just combined.
5. Alternately add the flour and buttermilk to the wet mixture, beating just until combined and do not overbeat. (A few small lumps of flour is fine, overbeating will result in a dry, dense cake.
6. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into the muffin tins.
7. Place 1 Reese cup in each cupcake by slightly pushing in, don’t over-push or it will go to the bottom of the cupcake
8. Bake for about 15 minutes or test by using a toothpick and poking the center of cupcake. It should still be moist, if it’s dry, it will be overbaked and dry.
9. Transfer cupcakes to baking rack and place another Reese cup on top of the one already inserted. Let cool.

Peanut Butter Mousse Frosting

1. Cream butter and add in all other ingredients until combined and creamy.
2. Place frosting into a piping bag, or snip a ⅓ inch inch hole into a zip-lock bag using scissors for the bag.

Chocolate Ganache Glaze

1. Microwave the heavy cream in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or starting to boil.
2. Add in chocolate and peanut butter chips and let sit for a minute or two then whisk for a couple of minutes.
3. Dip the cooled peanut butter cupcake tops into the ganache one by one and let them cool.
4. Pipe frosting in circular motions starting outward working in to the middle.
5. Cut up some random Reese cups and sprinkle on top.
