Chocolate Pudding Mix Cupcakes w/ Reese's PB Cups Frosting

I love surprises.

But I'm really, really bad at them.

Well, I'm wrong. I'm really good at surprising people and keeping the surprise from them. But when anybody tries to surprise me, I ruin it without even trying. Somehow I always just figure it out. Sometimes something that the surpriser says tips me off and sometimes it literally just comes to me. 

But for once a surprise worked!

My grandma and aunt surprised me with a basket of baking goods that they had won at bingo. It was nothing grand, just a little surprise, but it still worked! I was so happy. In that basket, I got a box of chocolate cake mix that only makes 12 cupcakes. So I made these:

Ingredients

for the cupcakes:

Chocolate cake mix (that prepares 12 cupcakes)

1/2 packet chocolate pudding mix

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup water

1. Preheat oven according to package. Mix all ingredients in one bowl and fill cupcake liners about 3/4ths of the way full. Bake according to box. 

for the frosting:

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
handful of mini reese's (melted)
1 tablespoon milk

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and powdered sugar.  Melt the reese's in a bowl in the microwave. I put mine in for 30 seconds, stirred, then 30 seconds more. Mix in. Lastly, mix in your tablespoon of milk (or however much suits your liking.) Ice cooled cupcakes.
