Tastes Like Reese's® Chocolate-Filled Peanut Butter Cupcakes
My sister and her friends were over when I made these imitation Reese's® peanut butter cup cupcakes, and they disappeared! Recipe is borrowed from the Jell-O® website, but I didn't want to make the cakes peanut butter and jelly, so I went for peanut butter and chocolate instead.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Cut out a square in the top of each cooled cupcake. Fill with icing.
