December is the busiest month in our house because of course, it’s Christmas, but we also have 3 birthdays on top of countless parties and gatherings. It just seems I can never catch a moment in the month of December. I love to have baking to share with guests and friends but I really don’t always have a ton of time. Being short on time, I came up with this easy recipe using a Betty Crocker™ mix while adding in some delicious holiday flavor.
The Perfect Cupcake to Spread Holiday Cheer
I used the Premium Cupcake Mix (with Hershey’s® chocolate…. yum!) found in the baking aisle at Safeway and topped it with a frosting that takes less than 3 minutes to prepare. (In fact, Safeway had all of the baking supplies I needed for holiday baking). The result is the perfect holiday dessert for sharing! Not only do I love having baking ready for visitors but I love dropping off plates of baked goods to friends, neighbors and teachers! These are the perfect way to spread cheer this holiday season!!
Tips for a Chocolate Gooey Center
Note: While the box directions have you add the filling before baking, I prefer to scoop out a piece of the baked cupcake and add the filling after baking. I find it gives a gooier center which we prefer. You can certainly do it either way, baking the filling in is easier. Once baked and cooled, use a small knife or spoon to create a small cavity in your cupcake. Fill it with the peppermint filling and replace the piece you scooped out. Frost as usual.
