Preheat oven to 325º F / 160º C. Line two standard 12 hole cupcake/muffin pans with paper liners. Place one mini peanut butter cup into each paper liner; set aside.
3.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.
4.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts; beat until ingredients are incorporated.
5.
Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 2/3 full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
6.
Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

In a bowl combine butter, sugar and salt. Beat until blended.
