Reese’s Puffs Cupcakes

The Story:

One of my New Years resolutions for my blog was to make more cereal cupcakes. These kinds of treats are always fun and bring out the kid in all of us. My Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes were/are still a huge hit. So I was hoping these would get the same response. One of my friends, Laina, tried one of these and told me “That was seriously the best cupcake I have ever had in my life.” Thanks Laina!
