For a friend's holiday party I volunteered to bring cupcakes. I decided on chocolate cupcakes with two different frosting choices - cream cheese and peppermint butter cream. To make them festive for the holidays, I sprinkled crushed candy cane on top.
If you like chocolate cupcakes, these are great and are very moist.
