Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
Use a small ice cream scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to drop batter onto prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, spread batter into 2-inch diameter circles. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until centers are set. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together butter and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat for about 3 minutes.
Slowly, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until filling becomes light and fluffy.
Fold in chocolate peanut butter cups until combined.
