Peppermint Patty Cupcakes

Chocolate and mint is a flavor combination I really enjoy. I think it has to do with my childhood because my dad used to treat me and my siblings with ice cream every now and then. One of the flavors he’d get us from the store is mint chocolate chip and I remember how much we all used to enjoy it! As a nod to those special ice cream days with my family, these Peppermint Patty Cupcakes brought some smiles to quite a few faces. A rich chocolate cupcake kissed with peppermint is adorned with fluffy cream cheese mint frosting and garnished with a Peppermint Patty candy and chocolate syrup drizzle…
This cupcake is one for every chocolate and mint combo fan out there. The chocolate cupcake has a touch of peppermint extract for a nice hint of mint. Then the frosting ties it back together with more peppermint extract. We can’t forget the light green hue so food coloring is added. But the best part is the garnish. Peppermint Patty candies and a drizzle of chocolate syrup makes these cupcakes irresistible!

    Peppermint Patties were a chiildhood favorite, a special treat because my mom would buy them for herself and allow me to take from the bag once in a while. Love them. So these cupcakes sound fabulous… and are definitely pretty!

    Wow, I don't know why, but when I saw the post for this on your feed, I jumped on it immediately. I love peppermint (that's a good reason why I love holiday season baking), and these look delicious!
