Dulce de Leche Cappuccino Cupcakes

I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but I like the fancy coffee drinks like cappuccino or latte when I do drink coffee. Recently, I found a caramel cappuccino that I can’t live without, and I love to sweeten it up with Coffee-mate’s newest flavor, Extra Sweet & Creamy.

It’s really yummy, and it gives you a balanced cup of coffee with creamy taste and extra sweetness! Coffee-mate’s smooth, creamy taste is just perfect to bring out the flavor in your coffee.

The other day I was drinking a cup and thought it would make a great flavor for my Crazy Cupcake Flavors from a Box!  If you love coffee flavored desserts, you are going to love Dulce de Leche Cappuccino Cupcakes featuring Coffee-mate Extra Sweet & Creamy!

To top off these amazing cupcakes, I whipped up a delightful dulce de leche coffee buttercream frosting.  It reminds me of eating coffee ice cream. It’s so good, you’d probably enjoy just eating it by the spoonful!
