I was insired by the Reese Peanut Butter Recipe to make my own, but as cupcakes because we don’t eat a cake. And cupcakes, you can freeze and pull out as you need!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup salad dressing (I use Miracle Whip light)
- 1 cup warm water
- 6 King Size packages of Reese peanut butter cups quartered or 24 mini cups (optional)
Instructions
- In your Large Tuppeware Wonderlier bowl, add the sugar, cocoa, flour and baking soda together and mix until cocoa is an even color throughout.
- Add the salad dressing and water and mix completely.
- Add 1 tablespoon the bottom of each cupcake.
- Add 1 piece of quartered (or mini) peanut butter cup.
- Cover with additional cupcake mix (a generous heaping tablespoon)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Make theFluffy Cocoa Frosting (I halfed the recipe as this makes a lot of frosting) and chop up the rest of the peanut butter cups into 1/4" chunks in a shallow. Frost lightly and dip the cupcake into the chopped up peanut butter cups.

Oh thanks for the Pin Angela! So kind of you. They are really good, and we use extra reese because we eat so much of it while making them. I hope you enjoy!
I am definitely making these. Thank you for sharing this at NOBH.

You are welcome Lynda, enjoy!
That sounds okay. I usually make cupcakes instead of cake. There’s only two of us and a cake tends to be too much for us.
I agree, Cupcakes seem easier to eat than a cake at our house too.
