Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

The holidays may be over, but this frigid weather makes everything peppermint flavored still enjoyable. This cupcake combination has become a winter favorite for me this year, especially since the frosting is made of cream cheese.  Enjoy!




Cream Cheese Peppermint Frosting
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese 
1 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract

3-4 cups powdered sugar 


Beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add peppermint extract.  Slowly start adding the powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
