'Tis the season for some truly delicious desserts! Today I have a unique recipe that combines everyone's favorite holiday beverage (eggnog!) with decadent chocolate cupcakes. The result is simply incredible, especially when topped with creamy, homemade buttercream frosting!

These Chocolate Eggnog Cupcakes are elegant without being too fancy— they're perfect for holiday parties where you want to impress a crowd. I love how the taste of eggnog comes through, and though this recipe doesn't have alcohol in it, I don't see why you couldn't add a splash or two of spiced rum or brandy in the mix for a more grown-up version of this holiday dessert.
