Ingredients

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Grape Flavor Gelatin, divided
1 tub (16 oz.) ready-to-spread vanilla frosting
1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
3 eggs
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Add 1 Tbsp. dry gelatin mix to frosting; stir gently until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use. Add boiling water to remaining gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into 8x4-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
Meanwhile, beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, cold water and peanut butter with mixer until blended. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake 18 to 21 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool completely.
Use paring knife to cut 1-1/4-inch wide piece from top of each cupcake, being careful to not cut through to bottom of cake; set removed centers aside. Cut gelatin into 24 cubes; place in cupcakes. Cover with removed cupcake centers, pressing gently into cupcakes to secure. Spread tops with flavored frosting.
