Merry everything & happy always

For my family's Christmas dinner, I made my peppermint patty cupcakes and decided to decorate them a little differently than usual. These were a hit with my family and I got to store them in my new cupcake caddy!

Peppermint surprise inside!

You're going to want to try this one, it's my favorite cupcake so far. I used my (perfected) chocolate cake with a dash of peppermint in the batter. In the middle of this little treat you'll find a peppermint patty baked right in; all garnished with festive red and white vanilla buttercream icing (the picture doesn't do it justice), green sprinkles and another peppermint patty on top! Sound like too much peppermint? Trust me it's not.
