Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe
Cupcake Ingredients
Boxed chocolate cake mix
3 Large Eggs
1/2 cup melted butter (not margarine)
1 cup of water
Mini chocolate chips & Andes Mints for garnish, if desired
Cupcake Directions
1. Preheat over to 350. Place baking cups into a muffin or cupcake pan like this.
2. In a large bowl, add cake mix, eggs, melted butter and water. Mix on low for one minute until ingredients are combined and then switch to high for approximately one minute until batter is thick and creamy.
3. Spoon cupcake batter into cupcake liners.
4. Bake for 20 minutes at 350.
Frosting Ingredients
Frosting Directions
1. Beat butter, whipping cream, extract and salt with an electric mixer until creamy.
2. Add food coloring and mix until evenly colored. I added a drop of green, a squirt of white Americolor and a tiny bit of blue food coloring on a toothpick for a mintier color.
3. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix at a low speed until blended. Once the powdered sugar is combined, mix at medium high for 1 minute or until creamy. (Makes 3 cups.)
4. Frost cooled cupcakes. Top with mini chocolate chips and/or mints before frosting crusts.
Enjoy!

I would love to make the Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes because they look so delicious and i am good at making cupcakes-they are so much easier to make than a layer cake. Thanks for the recipe.
