Easy and fun to make! My frosting did NOT thicken up like the recipe said it would so I added 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar and dipped the cupcake into the frosting upside down. I topped them immediately with the cut up peanut butter cups....delicious. I used only a fraction of the frosting though. I'll 1/2 the frosting recipe next time. Rave reviews from my guests.

Was so good and my son made this for his school project. So easy to teach him.

A coworker made these for our office on Valentines Day. Amazing!! Instead of waiting for the icing to completely cool, she simply dipped the top of each cupcake in the icing and topped with the chopped Reese cups. The icing settled with a ganache type smoothness and sheen. I didn't find them to be overly sweet, perfect balance!I will be making my own batch next weekend for my granddaughter birthday party. I think I will try both methods of topping the cupcakes, see which one I like best :)

I made these last night...They were amazing! I proudly have given some to my neighbors & relatives. I actually think the frosting is perfect because the rest of the cupcake is SO sweet. If you just taste the frosting on your finger, it doesn't seem great, but once it sets up & with everything else...It is perfect. It also made the perfect amount of frosting. My husband & I both thought they were better today, then last night after I made them.

I made an account on this site just to praise these cupcakes. I made them for a get-together with some friends, but even though there weren't very many of us, the cupcakes were GONE by the end of the night. They are one of the most decadent things I have ever tasted. I did end up adding sugar to the frosting, since it was a tad bitter for my tastes, so if (no, WHEN) I make these again, I'll use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Otherwise, a perfectly delicious recipe!
