Marble Cupcakes with Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting

I seem to be on a peppermint kick this year {giggle}.  Oh well — peppermint is all kinds of delicious! Right?  I love the hint of peppermint that comes with this yummy holiday treat!  Marble Cupcakes with Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting.  What’s not to love about a festive dessert?  Red Velvet and White cake make the yummy marble cupcakes, then you top it off with a Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting.  You have a little drool on your chin there…  {hee-hee}

This is another recipe where I’ve done a little substituting using International Delight creamer.  The Peppermint Chocolate Truffle is the secret ingredient in the frosting.  Oh yeah!  Let’s get to it, shall we?
