Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes To Celebrate Fall #CoolWhipFrosting

The fall weather in Ohio can be so unpredictable. One day it’s raining, the next the sun is shining bright. The temperature can be 80`F one day, and 40`F the next. It’s all good when you pair it with the beautiful changing leaves, and the yummy fall flavors. I’m a big fan of fall, so of course we have to celebrate the beauty and flavors of fall. My son and I both love pumpkin, and I’m a chocoholic, so I thought we’d combine a couple of our favorite flavors to make a pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake. We also heard about the new Cool Whip Frosting flavors. I usually make my own icing from scratch, but Cool Whip is really popular at our house, so we decide to give the new Cool Whip frosting a try.

I headed out to Walmart to get the ingredients we’d need for the cupcakes, and checked out the Cool Whip Frosting in the frozen food section, right next to the Cool Whip toppings. You can view more on my shop here.

When I got home my son was after me to get the cupcakes made. He was excited to give the Cool Whip Frosting a taste test. The cupcakes turned out fabulous, so I wanted to share them here.

My son gives the new Cool Whip Frosting two thumbs up. His favorite was the Cream Cheese.

I have to agree! The cream cheese is pretty yummy!

The chocolate is delicious too! I think it’s my favorite. I love the light creamy cool texture of the Cool Whip Frosting. I think it will also be great for pies later this fall for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I’m always buying Cool Whip and making my own flavors, I love it. Now I can just go buy the Cool Whip Frosting with fabulous flavors already in there! It’ll definitely save me some time during the busy holiday season!
