Brownie Peppermint Cupcakes

 I know, not the greats picture in the world. But maybe the greats pairing as far as brownies go. I had a package of brownie mix that need to be used up. I am  not a big brownie fan, so I try to come up with another way to make them. That's when I remembered the Kisses in the candy jar  from Valentines. Yes they were still good. At least that's my story and I am sticking to it. Any way on with the story.  I made the mix as stated on the back of the box. Then smashed the heck out of about 12 peppermint kisses till they turned into a powder. Don't you find that smashing something is such a stress reliever.  Add the powdered kisses to the brownies( using your fingers to make sure the power separates) and stir. Fill cupcake holder half way with mix. Bake at 350 for 2o to 25 minutes. Let cool and frost with chocolate fudge icing. These didn't even last a day.  Quick tip add smashed up kisses to homemade hot chocolate. AMAZING Oh, don't forget the marshmallows.
