PB & J CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Spoon frosting into medium bowl. Stir in 1 Tbsp. dry gelatin mix. Add COOL WHIP; whisk 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.
• 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.
• 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 cupcake; set removed centers aside. Cut gelatin into 24 cubes; place in cupcakes. Cover with removed cupcake tops, pressing gently into cupcakes to secure. Frost with COOL WHIP mixture.
