As I was browsing hundreds of amazing images of unhealthy, delish desserts on Pinterest or Facebook, I stumbled across this recipe that was (I think!) originally shared by Jamie on My Baking Addiction! I also found a slightly modified version of the recipe at Crazy Little Projects.
I just knew I had to make these and it was SO worth it! They are easy but look like you’ve slaved away! And the taste? Amazing!

Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
5 teaspoons milk
Use a disposable cake decorating bag to pipe the frosting on to each cupcake Top with one or one-half mini Reese’s or garnish with a few chopped Reese’s sprinkled over the frosting.
