Notes
Notes:
Crush the candy canes into bits. If you leave them in large chunks they will sink to the bottom of the cupcake while baking and make the bottom of the cupcakes stick to the paper. The candy canes will melt while baking The cupcakes will not have a coffee taste. The coffee just kicks up the flavor of the chocolate. I always add coffee to my baked chocolate desserts to enhance the chocolate flavor. Yum!
