Chocolate Candy Cane Cupcakes

I'm not sure how many people actually read this blog on a regular basis, but on the off chance that there are more readers than just me, let me apologize for my extended absence. Health issues have forced me away from the blog, and probably will force me to limit my baking & blogging for some time to come.

In my absence, though, I've done a little holiday baking, so I don't come here empty-handed. So I present to you a little something I whipped up a few weeks ago: chocolate candy cane cupcakes.


These are dark chocolate cupcakes, with dark chocolate bits baked inside, topped with peppermint Swiss meringue buttercream, and crushed candy canes.

Happy holidays!
