Easy Irish Cream Cupcakes

Sharing is caring!

If you are looking for some fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day dessert ideas, I am sharing a fun recipe for Easy Irish Cream Cupcakes. What makes these easy is they start from a boxed cake mix. I incorporated Irish Cream into the cupcakes and into the frosting for a deliciously flavored cupcake. Super easy and fun if you are heading to a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. These contain Irish Cream so this dessert is for the grown-ups only.

 

 

Hi Friends! March had come into my life with lots of clouds and rain. We have not had this much rain in several years. Rainy weather puts me in the mood to bake so yesterday I made these fun cupcakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s day a little early. There is always something to celebrate in life, so why not celebrate with cupcakes right?

 

If you like Irish Cream, I think you will enjoy these cupcakes. I used a butter chocolate cake mix for the base, but you can use any type of chocolate cake boxed cake mix. Milk chocolate, Chocolate Fudge, Devils food and Deluxe chocolate cake mix will all work.
