    This post has been sponsored by Hershey Canada both monetarily and with product.  All opinions and recipe creation are mine.

    I will tell you that my kids are 35 & 32….so really ALL adults in this family were thrilled.  I didn’t even know this stuff existed. When it arrived in the mail and I mentioned it to my daughter she said “OMG is it in the store yet?  I contacted the company to see when it is coming to Canada”.   Hubby (my official taste tester) was just smiling because he knew what was in store very very soon.

    After some contemplating on what wonderful creation was to be made, my decision of Oh My Reese’s Cupcakes was taken to the test kitchen.  Since the first words out of my mouth were OMG when I tasted this awesome spread, I wanted to make sure that it was the star of the show.

    Simple vanilla cupcakes filled with this awesome chocolate peanut butter creation then topped with more awesomeness…with a delicate buttercream to finish it off.  Total bliss!!  It really is hard to eat just one.

    Ingredients

    For the Cupcakes:

    • 1 cup butter (unsalted)
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 4 egg yolks (room temperature)
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 4 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 cup greek yogurt
    • 4 egg whites (room temperature)
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoons salt

    For the Delicate Buttercream Frosting:

    • 1 cup butter (room temperature)
    • 5 cups icing sugar (sifted)
    • milk or cream (for thinning)
    • ½ teaspoons salt
    • 1 jar of Reese Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread

    Instructions

    For the Cupcakes:

    • Preheat oven to 350º F, and line muffin tin with liners.
    • Sift flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl.
    • In another bowl, cream butter and sugar.
    • Beat in eggs yolks (one at a time) into the butter/sugar mixture.
    • Add vanilla.
    • Add the yogurt (in 2 parts) and flour mixture (in 3 parts) to the butter/sugar mixture. Be sure to begin and end with flour.
    • In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff.
    • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
    • Fill muffin cups ⅔ full with batter.
    • Bake for 20 minutes.
    • Remove from oven, let rest for a couple of minutes and take cupcakes out of the muffin tin and place on a cooling rack.

    With the cooled cupcakes:

    • Scoop out the middle of each cupcake. Keep the piece to reuse. I just used a knife an carved out a piece from the middle of each one.
    • Spoon in some of the peanut butter chocolate spread into each of the cupcakes.
    • Replace the piece of cupcake on top of the chocolate spread.

    For the Frosting:

    • Using a mixer (hand held or stand) in a bowl, cream the butter and icing sugar. 
    • Add in the salt and blend well.
    • Thin the mixture with a bit of milk or cream until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Place frosting in a piping bag with your choice of decorating tip.
    • Place a dollop of the peanut butter chocolate spread on the top of each cupcake.
    • Pipe frosting around the chocolate spread.
    • ENJOY!!

      Okay, I’m not a sweets eater but Reese’s cups? Oh, Boy!! They are so good I can’t keep them in the house. In fact, at Halloween I made the kiddos hide the Reese’s cups from me. I’m pitiful I’m so weak-willed!! These cupcakes sound magnificent. See, our kids and grandkids like the candy too. Wouldn’t it be great to surprise them with it?!! We are meeting together this weekend — kinda like an open house for family. I’m making these cupcakes.

      Well, I can certainly see why they are called “Oh my!” They look wonderfully delicious and although I’m not a huge candy eater I do like Reeses’s cups so I imagine the cupcakes would be fabulous. I’m thinking these would be great for Halloween for the grandsons — much better than a lot of candy!! I know they’d love them.

      Yum! What a great idea for the Reese Spread. I think my family would have just passed it around and ate it with a spoon. I like your cupcakes much better 🙂
