🍫Ingredients🍫

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Mix until just combined.
• Gently fold in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Peanut Butter Frosting:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
• Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
• Garnish with additional chopped Reese's peanut butter cups, if desired.
