  3. 3/4 cup of butter milk
  4. 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
  5. 4 eggs
For the Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting
  1. 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  2. 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  3. 1 large egg yolk
  4. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  5. 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  6. 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  7. Reese’s peanut butter cups, cut up and crumbled
The peanut butter cupcakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. Line the muffin cups with paper liners
  3. Put the cake mix in your mixing bowl
  4. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable, oil, peanut butter and eggs
  5. Beat until moistened – about 30 seconds
  6. Increase the speed to high and beat until thick – about another 2 mins
  7. Fold the heath bar into the batter
  8. Spoon the mix into the liners filling the cups about 2/3 of the way to the top.
  9. Bake for 15-20 mins – until a toothpick poked into the cupcake centers comes out clean.

Make the frosting
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate at high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until most of the chocolate is melted.
  2. Stir until completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter at medium speed until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat for 1 minute, scraping down the side of the bowl.
  5. At low speed, slowly beat in the confectioners’ sugar, about 1 minute.
  6. Sir in the peanut butter
  7. Frost the cupcakes and top with the peanut butter cups.
