Who doesn’t love a peppermint cupcake? I have the perfect recipe.
Holiday Peppermint Cupcake Recipe
I love Christmas. I love everything about it. Especially I love the holiday parties. Holiday parties are a great time to get together with loved one, friends and families, and have fun together. Whenever we go to a Christmas party I always want to bring a dessert. It is nice to share and I have the best peppermint cupcake recipe that is so simple to make. It can be made from a box mix but taste so good, no one will ever know.
I love making desserts to bring to get togethers but sometimes I am short on time or short on supplies. I wanted to find something that I can take to a holiday get together but that didn’t take a lot of time or money. These peppermint cupcakes are perfect because the peppermint taste reminds everyone of Christmas while the box mix makes them ready with little time and little ingredients.
Tips for making my simple peppermint cupcake recipe
- I tend to keep cake mix on hand. It is great for those last minute desserts.
- Instead of using disposable cupcake liners, use a silicone cupcake pan. It saves money and trash in the landfill.
- I love to order as much as possible online. Amazon delivers pantry groceries, so you can have most of the things needed delivered straight to your door.

I love peppermint and have a big bottle of peppermint extract that I put on so many things, including myself! I love that you incorporated it into the icing and even put candy canes in it.
i like the the idea of the candy cane and and then it looks good i would like them to have them made
These look so cute and I think it is something my daughters would love to help make.
I need to order some of those silicone liners too. I always forget the disposable ones so it would be nice to be prepared.
