Holiday Cupcakes



Sorry I didn't have a chance to post this over the holidays, but here is a quick and fun holiday treat.

Peppermint Cupcakes (makes 9):
1/2 box of devil's food cake mix
3/4 cup of milk
chocolate frosting
chocolate chips (1 handful)
6-9 candy canes (to taste)

Grind up the candy canes. Pass the powder through a large - sieve. The small powder will go into the cake mix, and the larger pieces will serve as the cupcake topper. Mix the cake mix, fine peppermint powder, chocolate chips, and milk, and pour into cupcake papers. Bake for 25-29mins. Let cool. Frost. Cover with the larger candy cane pieces.

Walnut Cupcakes (makes 9):
1/2 box of devil's food cake mix
3/4 cup of milk
cream cheese frosting
chocolate chips (1 handful)
walnuts (1 handful)

Chop up the walnuts into very small pieces. Mix the cake mix, walnuts, chocolate chips, and milk, and pour into cupcake papers. Bake for 25-29mins. Let cool. Frost. Decorate with piping frosting.
