Debbie's Notes:

My husband loves chocolate and peanut butter. I took the idea from my Death by Oreo Cupcakes and did something for him. Sometimes the simple ideas are the best.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Oh my! How could you not fall in love with these sweeties?! The aroma of peanut butter filled the kitchen as we were prepping them... We could hardly wait for the first bite. Delicious!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.Take 12 NutterButter cookies and cut them in half.Line cupcake tins with cupcake papers and drop a half a cookie in the bottom of each.

Mix cake mix according to directions on the box.

Chop approx 12 cookies coarsely and mix them in the cake mix.

Fill the cupcake tins and bake aprrox 15-18 min.

I made these beauties today! Actually, I found round Nutter Butter Cookies at Wal Mart, and they were like using Oreos...It was perfect! However, I was unable to find the small cookies, and used Hershey Caramel Kisses!!!
