Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

Peppermint and Christmas go well together. 

Chocolate cupcakes, chocolate icing, chocolate peppermint ganache with a Hershey's peppermint candy for a garnish.



Peppermint has a long tradition of being used in folk medicine and aromatherapy. Peppermint is commonly thought to soothe/treat symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, irritable bowel, and bloating. The aroma of peppermint has been studied for its possible effect to  memory and alertness. It is the oldest and most popular flavor of mint-flavored confectionery.
