Hey All!
I don’t know about you but I love me some festive hot cocoa and cupcakes during the holidays. Today, I’ve combined the best of both words with these Cute & Easy Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cupcakes! Who doesn’t love an adorable festive tasty treat? I know I do! You can take these to those ugly Christmas sweater parties or to those office parties and be hailed the holiday treat queen in the office.
Here is how to make them!
- 6 Chocolate Cupcakes, prepared and unfrosted
- 1 Can Vanilla Marshmallow Frosting
- ½ cup Mini Marshmallows
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- 8 Mini Candy Canes
- Christmas Jimmies
Use a piping bag and tip to put a swirl of frosting in the middle of each cupcake to resemble whipped cream on the top of hot cocoa. You can put a dollop with a spoon if you don’t have a piping bag. Just make sure to leave the edges of chocolate cake showing.
Sprinkle on some chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Take 2 of the candy canes and crush them into fine pieces. Take the other 6 candy canes and cut off about 2 inches of the straight end, so you have the entire rounded part left (Scissors work great when cutting the candy canes).
Sprinkle a little of the crushed candy canes or Christmas jimmies on top the frosting.
For the cup handle, hang one of the candy cane pieces onto the side of each cupcake. Press one end to the candy into the top of the cupcake on the edge and let it hang down on the side of the cake liner
These cute little “cups of hot cocoa” are a great fun holiday treat!
Hope you enjoy these tasty holiday cupcakes as much as I do!
