Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Buttercream Topped Cupcakes
I love a challenge.
Take for example being sent a box full of the latest creations from Hershey’s and Betty Crocker, who teamed up to make a variety of packaged products together. That’s right…together.
Now sure, I could have made exactly what was on the box. But there’s no challenge in that. No thought process happening. No dare to be great mentality.
I NEED challenges in my life.
So when I see a box of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Mix, what do I do?
I make cupcakes.
Or rather, I make an incredible buttercream for cupcakes. Out of cookie dough mix. With things I bet you already have in your fridge.
Yes, I did.
I know. I am a genius. Don’t worry, I am fully aware of my greatness.
Make these and you’ll know it, too. It can be our little secret.
