REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix in egg, vanilla, milk, and vegetable oil until combined. Whisk in boiling water until smooth and incorporated.
• Divide batter among 12 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and tops spring back.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before cooling completely on wire rack prior to adding frosting.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a bowl using a stand mixer or your hand mixer, cream butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 - 4 minutes. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined. Then slowly mix in powdered sugar on low speed until mixture comes together. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time until light and fluffy or desired consistency is reached. Beat on medium for one minute until fluffy.
• Fill a pastry bag with frosting and pipe onto cupcakes. Top with Reese's pieces, mini Reese's peanut butter cup, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

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.
• When the cupcakes are almost fully cooled, stir confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl. Add cocoa and cornstarch and stir until desired consistency; eyeballing it works well for icing.
