Reese’s Peanut Cup Frosting is absolutely fabulous on brownies, cupcakes, toast, and straight-up spoons! Heavenly goodness 🙂
Oh my good heavens, I’ve created a monster.
My mind does not work like the average mind when it comes to desserts. You’ve probably realized this characteristic about me by now.
Anyways, I made this frosting last weekend because it was an idea that just popped into this lovely brain of mine and by George, it was love at first sight bite.
It’s like a liquid Reese’s… but frosting!!
YOU GUYS. Frosting that tastes EXACTLY like a Reese’s peanut butter cup: that is now a real thing.
I spread this onto a pan of brownies but feel free to use this in any application you’d like: cake, cupcakes, toast. I don’t care and I don’t think it even matters.
REESE’S FROSTING tastes good on EVERYTHING.
I’m just now realizing I’m using a lot of capital letters in this post, also known as online yelling.
Sorry!! But not really because this frosting is RIDICULOUS. And you will become addicted.
You’re welcome.
Here’s how to make it:
Our cast of characters for today include: salted butter, Reese’s spread, powdered sugar and Reese’s peanut butter cups. Not pictured: vanilla and milk.
Basically, you whip everything together until you get a frosting consistency. As thin or thick as you’d like. I kept mine pretty thick. More detailed directions in the written recipe below. Promise.
Anyways, once your basic frosting is whipped, stir in some chopped peanut butter cups. I like seeing the big chunks in my frosting, but you can definitely throw it all into the mixer with the rest of the party. No biggie.
And that’s basically it! Spread this glorious, heavenly goodness on whatever you see fit: brownies, cupcakes, toast. It’s all up to you.
And, if you look closely, you can see all those peanut butter bits just floating around on these brownies. Talk about dream city!!
Just, YES.
Hope you all get around to making these immediately because, well, they are the epitome of ridiculous.
Also: I haven’t taken my fat pants off for days, so that’s cool.
Recipe below. Enjoy, friends!!
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 13 oz Reese's Spread
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chopped
Instructions
- Stir butter, Reese's spread and powdered sugar together to combine. It will be pretty dry for a few good seconds but after that should look more brown than white.
- Add in vanilla and enough milk to create a frosting consistency. Scrape sides and mix again until completely smooth. Stir in chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and spread on anything your little heart desires.
I don’t have the Reeses candy so I’m gonna try adding homemade peanut butter squares

Good, but really can’t be used for cupcakes. The consistency isn’t right for piping and tends to break apart when piped in a curve. Even adding more milk and/or vanilla extract to the mixture didn’t help.
It’s a chunkier frosting, so not best for piping, but perfectly fine for spreading with a knife!

This is a keeper! My family all went nuts over the frosting. I am known for my brownie recipe and when I saw this recipe I HAD to switch the frosting I normally use to this recipe. Everyone just loved it.
Great job! Thank you
Ohmiword! I can’t wait to make this! You had me at Reese’s!
Amazing!
You should have seen the look on my daughters face when she ate these. It’s a hit! 🙂
Om nom nom nom!! I want these in my belly right now 🙂 Fantastic recipe!
Well this just sounds absolutely amazing! I see something sweet being made in my future, decorated with this icing!
Oh MY goodness. Maybe I shouldn’t have stopped by today. I have this long to do list and now it just seems so much less important than getting to the store and making this. Help, what do I do? What am I worried about, my guys won’t mind dessert for dinner. Problem solved.
There goes my diet!
I’ll have to try this when I’m back stateside and can get the ingredients! Looks yummy!
