I can’t believe it’s mid-December already!  Christmas will be here before I know it, and I haven’t even sent my Christmas cards or finished shopping yet. I’m usually much more prepared by now. 

Are you ready yet?

Well, if you’re still looking for a treat to take to your holiday get together, look no further. I’m so excited to share my new easy peasy idea!

Hot Cocoa Cupcakes.

The idea came from a picture in Family Circle magazine. The recipe in the magazine was for a typical chocolate cupcake and fluffy white icing, but theBOY had a great idea to improve it. To save time and the anxiety about whether they’d turn out right (my cupcakes usually taste like muffins when I make them from scratch), I bought a boxed cake and a tub of icing.  theBOY mixed 1 1/2 packets of Swiss Miss into the icing, and I piped it on and added the marshmallows & candy canes. Ta-da! Easy.  

YUM!  I will definitely make these again.

Aren’t they cute?

I think they’re irresistble. If you’re looking for more ideas, check out my no-bake Christmas cookies from last year.
