Anyways guys I was doing some browsing through Pinterest and found a recipe from Glorious Treats for chocolate peppermint cupcakes. I tweaked the recipe to fit my taste but I also didn't make my chocolate cupcakes from scratch like she did. I also found a recipe for Peppermint Popcorn from Plain Chicken. Hope ya'll enjoy the recipes.
