{Recipe} White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cupcakes!

These white chocolate macadamia cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat!

Did you know that you can use coffee creamers to flavor frostings? Oh yes, and meringues, puddings, whipped creams, cookies, muffins, you name it! This totally opens my world to fun flavor combinations! I used International Delight’s White Chocolate Macadamia flavor to make these yummy white chocolate macadamia cupcakes. So let your Valentine know you’re “NUTS” about them by surprising them with these cupcakes!

I chopped up some white chocolate and macadamia nuts to garnish the cupcakes. You certainly don’t have to do this because the International Delight creamer adds such a boost of flavor (but I like to pretty up cupcakes to designate the flavor).  I also added some white chocolate chips in the batter itself!

Time to garnish!

Aren’t they delish looking? I seriously had to chew about 3 different types of gum over the course of making these so I wouldn’t devour them all. My lucky husband was thrilled to see these when he arrived home (and the neighbors). Don’t worry, I did enjoy one and can fully attest they’re delicious!

Here are some other ID flavors that would also make fabulous flavorings in baked yummies! Hazelnut, Hershey’s Chocolate Caramel, Caramel Macchiato, Irish Creme, York Peppermint Patty, Almond Joy, White Chocolate Mocha, etc! Wowza, my baking brain is on overdrive thinking of all the possibilities! These white chocolate macadamia cupcakes might be my favorite though. They’re so delicious and remind me of my favorite cookie!
