Peppermint candies have become a favorite ingredient in my seasonal baking as I’ve gotten older. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying as a kid I felt robbed out of my sugary craving when I was handed one of these hard candies. These Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes are what my family has made as my standard offering for all holiday parties, and it’s for so many reasons! The chocolate cupcake base has such a decadent flavor that tastes like it came right from the bakery. The whipped frosting is super sweet so you have a perfectly balanced cupcake! Then add the refreshing peppermint candy for the holiday vibes.
