Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in a cupcake? I am so there. Who can resist the mix of peanut butter and chocolate?? Not very many of us, that’s for sure!

Filling
- 1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup peanut butter

- For filling: in a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, and milk until smooth.

- In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, water, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened (batter will be runny)
