Reese's Cupcakes

So for some reason I've noticed that all of my recipes have been about chocolate. haha I don't know why...but everyone's gotta love chocolate, right? I love these! They taste and smell exactly like Reese's! Sooo yummy! So today I'm using a box cake mix instead of the "normal" ingredients. One of my sister pointed out to me a few months ago that the box cake mix is just all the "normal" ingredients just combined into a package! So it's no big deal, you're still an awesome baker, you're just cutting out time and money! =D
