Hazelnut Cream Cheese Frosted [Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cupcakes]

The cupcakes continue. My favorite.

These use the same recipe I posted earlier for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread, with the added deliciousness of Hazelnut Frosting. More fall for your mouth.

So, use the recipe I posted earlier for the bread and divide evenly into about 18 cupcake liners instead. You'll want to bake these for about 20 minutes, but keep a close eye on them cause they seem to finish fairly quickly. So take them out when the tops are springy to the touch. 

And then top with this easy frosting recipe...

OH, I wish fall never had to end.

Ingredients:

• 2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1-1/2 tsp. hazelnut extract
• 2 c. sifted powdered sugar

Directions: 

1. Cream together cream cheese and butter.
2. Add hazelnut extract.
3. Slowly add powdered sugar.

(* Note: Be sure to store left-over frosting and cupcakes in the refrigerator.)
