These Cupcakes Are Topped With My Favorite Candy!
I’m a member of my office’s “spirit committee”, which means we plan the parties or little celebrations within the office. Well, one of our important duties is to plan the birthdays, and tomorrow is my other committee member’s birthday!
I’ve decided to surprise him with my M&M Choco-Cupcakes! He’s always so generous, bringing in birthday treats for everyone else in the office, that I thought it would be nice to give him some special birthday treats in return.
He always has a bag of M&Ms at his desk, so I knew I had to incorporate his favorite candy into a delectable chocolate treat. I researched a few different M&M cupcake recipes, but decided on making chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and decorated with the bite-sized candies.
I’ve attempted to make a couple other chocolate frosting recipes, and they were all terrible. But I think I created a winner! This one isn’t too sweet and has just enough chocolate flavor – yay! It’s a combination of my go-to vanilla buttercream recipe and a chocolate buttercream recipe from one of my favorite food blogs.
The result is a moist, chocolate cupcake with a silky buttercream frosting and just the right amount of crunch from the M&M topping!
