  3. Press one Reese's Miniature Cup into the center of each partially filled cupcake liner.
  4. Bake the cupcakes for 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Adjust with milk if necessary.
  6. Frost the completely cooled cupcakes with the peanut butter frosting and sprinkle with chopped Reese's Miniature Cups on top.
