Red Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting

• Red Velvet Cake Mix
• eggs
• oil
• water
• Cream Cheese Frosting
• 6 White Chocolate squares
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

The important part of this recipe is the frosting. You can also make this with chocolate cupcakes, but red velvet is oh so good! I have two different recipes for the frosting, but I'm posting the easier of the two.

Make Red Velvet cupcakes and cool for at least 20 minutes. Melt white chocolate squares in microwave for 45 seconds and stir until melted. Place cream cheese frosting in mixing bowl. Pour chocolate into bowl. Add peppermint extract. Mix until smooth. Frost cupcakes.

The frosting will actually frost about 40 cupcakes, so you can save some frosting for later.

I made these for the Newbold's while I was staying there. Her girls were great little helpers.
