Directions
Peppermint Cupcakes, I adapted this recipe from one I found in a magazine at Christmas time They are delicious and a very festive dessert for holiday parties! You can use any boxed chocolate cake mix, I just listed my favorite Just be sure to follow the directions on the box of whatever brand you use Allow extra time for cooling the cupcakes , Loved the cool taste of the peppermint and who can go wrong with chocolate! These would be great for a baby shower for someone having a girl or for Christmas time I was looking for a way to use a box of candy canes I picked up at the end of the holiday or that ingredient would be hard to find year round My icing was a bit thick so I might add more of the candy cane mixture to the batter next time , I had lots of peppermint hard candy so used those instead of candy canes to make these cupcakes They were so good! The entire family enjoyed them Can’t wait for the holiday sales Looks like we’ll be buying lots of candy canes this year!
