Peppermint cream cheese frosting

mmmm what a perfect topping for chocolate cupcakes at the holidays. This had just a slight peppermint taste, just enough to go perfectly with chocolate. I used my Hershey’s perfectly chocolate cupcake recipe I have previous used and topped them with this fantastic frosting!

ENJOY!

Ingredients:

1  (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1  cup  butter or margarine, softened

1  (2-pound) package powdered sugar

2  teaspoons  peppermint extract

Directions:

Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at low speed until smooth. Add extract, beating until blended.
