It’s been snowing so much here in Virginia since last night. 2 ft of snow! Brrrrrr!!!!  It’s the worse I’ve seen it here so far. It almost feels like I’m back in the Midwest. Brrrr…  We’re snowed in and can’t go nowhere.

M&M Chocolate Cupcake

I bought a bag of Christmas M&Ms (red and greens 2 weeks ago and have been wanting to decorate Christmas cupcakes with them. Getting snowed in yesterday and today is the perfect time to get inspired and complete this fun project!  I used Chocolate Egg-white Buttercream which came from Rose Rosenbaum’s “Heaveny Cakes”. I used 5 ounces of a combination of Ghirardelli 60%  and Lindt 70% cocoa. These two, in combination with 1/2 cup of super fine sugar and 3 egg white and 2 sticks of butter created a wonderful chocolate buttercream flavor.    To make it look more festive, I sprinkled red and green sugar granules!
