Reese’s Pieces Cupcakes- Chocolate Cupcakes with peanut butter chips, frosted with a creamy peanut butter frosting and topped with Reese’s Pieces.

Reese's Pieces Cupcakes

My sister-in-law Tana just celebrated her 16th birthday on Halloween. She loves Reese’s Pieces so I thought it’d be fun to surprise her with Reese’s Pieces cupcakes. I ended up finding some great recipes and combined 2 that I found.  I was amazed at how wonderful they turned out. They are so good! And Tana loved them so that made me happy. 🙂

I was excited to use my new decorating tip, 1M for the swirls on top. I love how it turned out! If you don’t have that you can just put the frosting in a freezer zip lock bag and cut off the tip and swirl on the frosting and it looks great!

    Okay, I have a question, how old was your sister-in-law when she married your brother, if she’s just turning 16????

      I’m not sure what you mean? The sister-in-law in these pictures is 18 now and not married. I have other sister-in-laws.

        How is she your sister-in-law, if she isn’t married? Maybe I’m not understanding your post?

          My husband has 6 siblings so when we married, they all became my in-laws. So all his brothers became my brother-in-laws and all his sisters became my sister-in-laws. Married or not.
