I LOVE the combo of peppermint and chocolate. As you can see here. So a peppermint chocolate cupcake sounded like the right way to go. And I added some chocolate chips, you know, for good measure. The secret ingredient in this? CHOCOLATE MILK. Mmm. Makes a difference. A good ‘ol chocolatey difference.

Since the Kid and I have been sketching DOMO lately:

I thought that the brown chocolate frosting would make a great character cupcake. Just a little fondant and there you go - a tasty DOMO KUN!

ingredients:

2 sticks of butter, softened

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 Tablespoon peppermint extract (the good stuff. Don’t cheap out, you bastard)

2-1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup Valrhona cocoa powder (again, don’t cheap out)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate milk

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
