Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes with Peppermint White Chocolate Frosting
I made these cupcakes to compliment my other Peppermint and White Chocolate Cupcakes. I absolutely LOVE peppermint hot chocolate at this time of year and these cupcakes modeled after my favorite beverage were nothing short of amazing.I don’t often eat non-gluten free treats when I make them for Alex or friends, but these cupcakes were the exception. I decided to have one and they were heavenly! I hope to create a gluten free version next year so I can enjoy more than one without feeling guilty.The frosting is the absolute best part of these cupcakes in my opinion. It is light, fluffy and very pepperminty. I decided that I had no self-control I’d be eating that frosting by the spoonful. It is the perfect complement to a rich peppermint chocolate cupcake. While these cupcakes are best enjoyed during the holiday season they certainly can be enjoyed all year round.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:148]Source: Cake adapted from Kiss my Bundt – Chrysta Wilson
I decided it was high time to make some Christmas flavored cupcakes. I settled on making two different types of peppermint cupcakes both with white chocolate icing. Today’s cupcakes are peppermint cupcakes with crushed peppermint candies with white chocolate peppermint buttercream.I took these to a board meeting and everyone loved them! They are chock full of lovely peppermint flavor and the buttercream on top is super light and fluffy. These cupcakes would be the absolute perfect complement to any Christmas celebration.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:146]Source: Cake adapted from Kiss my Bundt – Chrysta Wilson
