The holidays are coming and I am excited for all the baking ahead. When I was growing up I was surrounded by all sorts of baking: cookies, cakes and more. I would spend time at my grandmother’s homes and get to try some of the best desserts. The holidays were great times for desserts. Now, I get to make fun and delicious desserts for my family. We love making cookies and cakes and cupcakes. I always loved sugar cookies with frosting on them. My sister still makes them every Christmas. I’ve also done many cookie exchanges with friends and family and the ones I make a usually a pretty big hit.

This time around I was tasked with creating a fun recipe around some M&M’s® Hot Chocolate and Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix. So, my idea was to take those ingredients and also add in another Pillsbury™ Baking cake mix to make some M&M’s® Hot Chocolate Cupcakes. The idea was to swirl the Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix and some Pillsbury™ Dark Chocolate Cake Mix to make the cupcakes look like a swirled cup of Hot Chocolate. I also added the M&M’s® Hot Chocolate candies to the Dark chocolate cake mix and also on top of the frosted cupcake to look like a cup of hot chocolate. I also picked up a gallon of Great Value Milk to wash everything down and some M&M’s® Holiday Milk Chocolate and M&M’s® Holiday Peanut bags so that I could enjoy those later. I also happen to have a link to a coupon where you can Save $1.00 on ANY TWO (2) M&M’s® Chocolate Candies, 8 oz or larger. They are my favorite candy.
