Strawberry Moscato Cupcakes

It's another boozy dessert recipe! You can use any sweet/dessert wine, but I think Moscato or White Zinfandel would work best. Makes about 20 cupcakes.


Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker Strawberry Cake Mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup Moscato wine (I used Barefoot Pink Moscato)
1 package cream cheese frosting
Conversation hearts (optional)

Directions:
1. Add cake mix, eggs, oil and wine to a large bowl, then mix until smooth.
2. Line some cupcake pans with liners and pour in the cupcake batter. The cups should be about two thirds of the way full.
3. Bake the cupcakes according to the cake mix box instructions. I did mine at 325 degrees for 17 minutes. Let them cool completely before frosting.
4. Decorate with conversation hearts if desired. (You could also use fresh strawberries.)

Happy Valentine's Day!
