I have another scrumptious cupcake recipe to share with you!!! Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes. Oh My Goodness!
If you’re a purist when it comes to baking, I understand, but please read on. Consider those times when you’re in a hurry and have no time to bake. There are those times, right? But, like a trooper, you can pull out a recipe from your collection, like this one, and you still come out a hero, and no one will think less of you because you used a mix. Believe me, I used to shy away from these kinds of recipes, but no more. In fact, I think I’m all the wiser 😉
This cupcake still delivers that Wow! Factor.
