I wish I could describe these Peppermint Truffle Cupcakes to you… someday I’ll create a way to transport food through computers and phones. I will be a gazillionaire – it’s true. The truffle is smooth with a little crunch of peppermint, the cake is moist and chocolatey, and the Peppermint buttercream is OH-SO-GOOD!
Peppermint Truffle Cupcakes

- 1/2 Cup water
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Dilettante Chocolate truffles
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients with a mixer.

- Bake for the prescribed amount of time on the box.
- Once out of the oven, place a Dilettante truffle in the middle.
Frosting
- Frost with your favorite buttercream recipe.
