Chocolate Mint Cupcakes with Crushed Peppermint Candies



CHOCOLATE MINT CUPCAKES WITH CRUSHED PEPPO-MINT CANDY



I thought these peppermint cupcakes came out too cute!! I started with a chocolate cupcake infused with mint extract and a buttercream frosting. I piped it half pink and half white and then added chopped bits of classic peppermint candies. I photographed them on pink tissue paper to really bring out the color and I think it did the trick! They really had a cool minty flavor and the kids gave them an "A-plus" rating; oh well, who am I kidding--there really hasn't been a cupcake they didn't like! Thank heavens for my family, they are my biggest fans!! lol
