FROSTING:
1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix, plus ingredients on box
18 regular size peanut butter cups
1 box Reese's Pieces
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 18 muffin tins with cupcake liners. Mix cake batter according to box instructions. Place a peanut butter cup at the bottom of each cupcake liner. Spoon cupcake batter into cupcake liners, filling ¾ of the way. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until firm to the touch on top. Let cool. FROSTING: Combine butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in vanilla extract. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and heavy cream. Beat on high for a good 30 seconds. Spread frosting onto cupcakes with an offset spatula or a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Sprinkle with Reese's Pieces.
