chocolate-peppermint
has anyone ever made chocolate-peppermint cupcakes? i usually use this recipe as cupcakes, and i wonder if i could just replace the vanilla with peppermint extract, or just add in a teaspoon or so to the mix. i've never used peppermint extract so i'm not sure how strong it is or how much to use, or if i should just skip it in the cupcakes altogether and just add it into the buttercream frosting. sorry if this is kind of a no-brainer, but.. any suggestions or experience?
