Reese's Peanut Butter Cupcakes (gluten free style)

1 pkg Pamela's Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix (21 oz)
2 T Cocoa
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1-1/3  C water
1/3 C oil
3 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 pkg Reese's Miniatures

Place all ingredients, except for the Reese's, in a medium sized mixing bowl. Blend lightly until cake mix is just moistened. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake papers in pan and place one unwrapped Reese's in each cup. Place enough cake batter in each cup till it's approximately 2/3 or 3/4 full. Bake 16 minutes or so. Allow to cool. Frost with chocolate/peanut butter frosting. Use a cake decorator bag if you want it to look fancy. Note: I tried the larger peanut butter cups and they're good, but the chocolate was almost burnt and a little crispy. The miniatures did work better.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting
1/2 C butter
1/2 C shortening
4 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 T milk (I used chocolate almond milk - YUM)
3/4 C cocoa powder
1 cup peanut butter (creamy is best)

Combine and moisten with additional milk to desired consistency. (I ended up adding an extra cup of powdered sugar and more chocolate almond milk.)

This recipe made approximately 24 cupcakes.
