Peppermint or Hot Chocolate????

how about both?? haha ... but not together ... tho they probably would taste good together in a cup ... but not in a cupcake. lol. i ended up making 2 kinds cuz i didn't have enough York Peppermint Patties for the whole batch of Devil's Food batter ... so i made as many as i could with peppermint patties and added hot chocolate mix to the rest of the batter. lol.
i personally don't think it made much of a difference in the taste ... but who knows ... i only tried the batter. hahaha!
i do believe this is my favorite ornament that i own ... =)
it's a CUPCAKE!! AAAHHH! =D
lol
the first batch of cupcakes i made have a York Peppermint Patty baked in the middle ... =) need i say more??? ha!
ooooooohh yeeesss ... haha! pure amazingness .... =)
all i gotta say is that whipped cream frosting takes FOOOORRREVVER to make! lol. but it tastes sooo good. lol.
look ... look at the middle! omg! i do believe these are on my list of favorite cupcakes ... =)
Hot Chocolate Cupcakes ... with some sprinkled hot chocolate powder on top and candy cane garnish =)
all packed away to take to work tomorrow =)
now ... i'd put the recipe for the actual cupcakes on here but i already have before in a previous post. these were Devil's Food Cupcakes stuffed with the York Peppermint Patties ... however ... this was the first time making Whipped Cream Frosting ... so here's the recipe i used ...

16 oz. heavy whipping cream
6 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
