Yellow cupcakes with peanut butter are 'stuffed' with cubes of strawberry JELL-O and topped with strawberry frosting.
Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package jell-o strawberry flavor gelatin, divided
1 (10.4 ounce) tub cool whip vanilla whipped frosting
1 cup boiling water
1 package (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package jell-o vanilla flavor instant pudding
3 eggs
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup planters creamy peanut butter
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add 1 Tbsp. dry gelatin mix to frosting; stir gently until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use. Add boiling water to remaining gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into 8x4-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
3. Meanwhile, beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, cold water and peanut butter with mixer until blended. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake 18 to 21 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool completely.
4. Use paring knife to cut 1-1/4-inch wide piece from top of each cupcake, being careful to not cut through to bottom of cake; set removed centers aside. Cut gelatin into 24 cubes; place in cupcakes. Cover with removed cupcake centers, pressing gently into cupcakes to secure. Frost cupcakes.
