2
sticks butter

4
cups

Instructions
Before starting with the decorating process, ensure that your cupcakes are cool to the touch.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, confectioners’ sugar, milk and peppermint extract on medium speed. Gradually increase speed to high.
Your buttercream is complete once the ingredients are well-mixed and smooth. Scoop the buttercream in a piping bag and frost each cupcake.
Place your peppermint candies in a sandwich bag and break them into small pieces using a rolling pin.
Sprinkle the peppermint pieces on each cupcake and serve. Enjoy and happy holidays!
