Add some fresh fruit to your day with these Mocha Raspberry Cupcakes!
I hope everyone had a good long extended weekend! I was MIA for the entire week but if you follow me on Instagram you could of seen what I was up to, also I am now on Twitter! So you can follow there as well!!!
Okay there is fresh fruit and Greek yogurt in these Mocha Raspberry Cupcakes so you won’t have to feel too bad for eating an entire dozen! And seriously, that is what I wanted to do with these, that is why I took them out of the house and took them to a get together we were having with some friends.I have been holding out on you guys. I made these for a contest a while back. Keeping my fingers cross about that. I hope these will impress the judges but either way it was fun to use the products from Duncan Hines and I am super crazy about them right now, so you should see me using them more often now. This recipe pretty much follows the Peaches N’ Cream Cupcakes that I did awhile ago but I added the Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Mocha Flavor to my icing. You can not believe how it changes your icing. I was a little skeptical about how it was really going to taste and really shocked about how well the flavors just come right through! Try these! You must!! ENJOY!!!
