Nutella Surprise Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting Kisses (because the frosting looks like a big giant Peanut Butter Kiss).
Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¾-1 cup Nutella
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 24-36 chocolate kisses unwrapped
  • Peanut Butter frosting:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbs milk, if needed
  • Topping:
  • ¼ cup hazelnuts finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chocolate bar grated
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and fill your cupcake tins with liners. You can use mini or regular size cupcake tins!
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the cupcakes except for the kisses, beat for 30 seconds and scrape the edges of the mixer.
  3. Beat for another 2-3 minutes on high speed!
  4. Spoon the batter into the cupcake tins only filling it about halfway. Then place one kiss in each cupcake tin and press it down so that the batter fills up around it. You should just see the top of the kiss.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes for mini cupcakes and 18-20 minutes for regular sized cupcakes! The tops should spring back.
  6. For the frosting, mix the peanut butter and cream cheese until well combined. Add vanilla.
  7. Beat in one cup of powdered sugar at a time until it reaches the consistency that you would like. I wanted mine to be pretty thick so that the frosting would hold its shape.
  8. If you make it a little too thick, you can add a little milk (just a little goes a long way).
