Sweet and flavorful from the eggnog and pumpkin spices, these pumpkin eggnog chocolate cupcakes are topped with a pumpkin flavored cream cheese frosting
Dear Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses,
The first time I’ve seen and read about you was about a year ago and ever since I knew I’m gonna love you. But you were playing hard to catch, or maybe it was me, living in this neck of the woods. I’ve been waiting for you so long, maybe too long I might say, and the moment I saw you at my local grocery store I knew I had to take you home with me. It’s been a couple of months now. It was love at first sight bite.
Do you remember when we played hide and seek and you found a comfy place inside the pumpkin blondies or the brownie cookies?
How about the day I placed you in the microwave for few seconds and used you as an icing to my chocolate cake?
I know there were times when I forgot about you and hanged out with one of your relatives, the Candy Cane Kiss. You weren’t happy but still you stood by me and when I needed you again you were more than happy to sweeten my life.
We had a wonderful time and I’m sad to let you go, but it’s time to say goodbye. It’s gonna be a long wait again, 9-10 months if I’m lucky, but I’ll be here waiting for you. Pumpkin season 2013 will be even better than this one, I promise.
With love,
Roxana
These Pumpkin Eggnog Chocolate Cupcakes with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting are made with both pumpkin eggnog and pumpkin spice Hershey’s kisses.
I’ve used the eggnog as one of the wet ingredients in the cupcake batter and the frosting is made with melted kisses. The idea just took me by surprise and just like other crazy ideas I had to give it a try. Boy, I’m so glad I did.
The cupcakes are somewhere in the middle between a cake and a brownie. You get the brownie top and underneath it it’s a moist chocolate cake, flavored from the eggnog and pumpkin spices.
Then you have the creamy frosting. Melted pumpkin spice kisses, soft cream cheese and powder sugar. So good and they go so well together.
