Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla using a handheld mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in icing sugar and seasoning until combined. Add milk and food colour and beat until smooth.
Using a piping bag and tip, pipe onto Harissa Chocolate Cupcakes, and garnish with a red chili if desired.
I made these cupcakes since I was chosen as a candidate for Influenster to try some of the ingredients for free. I personally wasn’t excited about the spicy part of this cupcake recipe, however, the taste wasn’t too bad, and it went above my expectations. I don’t think I will be rushing to buy the Harrisa spicy blend. It was just a bit to spicy for my liking. But if you don’t mind the extra flavour I would say give it a try and see how you feel about. Thank for Influenster for chosen me to test the Harrisa for free.

There was mixed feeling about this recipe in my house. I liked them- not love but like! My husband hates weird combinations and was not into the hot and sweet. My toddler loved them and my preschooler hated them. So 3/5 for us! Pretty easy recipe to follow though! I received the seasonings complimentary for testing purposes.

REally liked this recipe. I received the Harissa spice free from influenster for testing purposes and used this recipe to test it out. I like how the spice complements the sweet. It makes for a very satisfying flavour combination

I receive the Harissa seasoning form Influenster and when I saw there a was spicy chocolate cupcake recipe to make when I opened the box I just had to try it out! The recipe was very easy to follow and I loved how these recipes show the Nutrition facts as well. It was an interesting combination but it worked. I might try these again!

I tried this icing using the Harissa spice and it was so good. There was so much flavour in this icing that it just made my cupcakes that much better. It was a nice sweet/spicy kick that just amped the flavour. I received a sample for free to try via Influenster.

This icing is amazing! Sweet with a kick! This recipe makes a ton of icing - probably double what I would use for 24 regular cupcakes (but others might like more icing on theirs). A fun addition was that the chilli blend seemed to make the icing look a bit shimmery - so not only did it taste good it looked gorgeous as well :)
