Creating Reese’s Cupcakes is simple and enjoyable. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mix to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
7. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, blend creamy peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, and mix until desired consistency is reached. Finally, stir in vanilla extract.
8. Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from the heat.
9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with peanut butter frosting.
10. Top with Ganache: Drizzle the warm chocolate ganache over the frosted cupcakes.
11. Garnish: Finish by placing a half of a mini Reese’s cup on top of each cupcake.
