For a more intense peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint oil to the batter. Be careful, as peppermint oil is very potent! Ensure the butter is softened for both the cupcakes and the frosting for best results. If you don't have marshmallow fluff, you can make a meringue-based frosting instead. Store the frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
