Ingredients:  
1 box chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
½ cup milk
⅓ cup vegetable oil
32-40 Reese's mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º and line cupcake pan with paper liners.

For the cupcakes: Combine the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until mixed evenly. Scrape sides of bowl and then beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes.

Fill cupcake liners halfway full and press one peanut butter cup into the center of each. Depending on the size your cupcake pan, it will make about 16-20 cupcakes. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until done. Cool.

Frosting: In a mixing bowl, cream butter and peanut butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk and continue creaming until well blended. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy, adding more milk if needed.

Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Chop the remaining peanut butter cups and sprinkle on top of the cupcakes. Drizzle some melted peanut butter and melted chocolate (chocolate chips melted with 1 tablespoon butter) over the cupcakes, if desired.
