Preparation

Step 1

Melt chocolate, cool, and set aside. Using an electric beater, beat butter while gradually adding sugar (about 15 minutes); add cooled, melted chocolate. Beat 5 minutes more. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla and peppermint extract.

Pulverize vanllia wafers in an osterizer until they are as fine a bread crumbs. Put a tablespoon of wafer crumbs in the botton of the cupcake holders that are in the cupcake pans. Pour enough chocolate mixture in each cup to fill them 1/2 full. Sprinkle a little vannila wafer crumb on top of the chocolate mixture and top with a half a candied cherry.


Freeze for at least 3 hours.

*Can substitute one 6-ounce package of chocolate chips. Do NOT substitute margarine for butter.
