The combination of chocolate and mint is one of my favorite things to eat after a meal. Andes Chocolates are a perfect after dinner sweet treat. Of course when I start eating these chocolates, I can almost eat a dozen of them. Well, they are very small (yes... I say that sheepishly). I decided to add these lovely chocolate and mint delights to some devil's food cupcakes. I added some extra mint flavor with Bailey's Irish Cream Coffee Creamer. These cupcakes were simply delightful and they didn't even need icing. So if you want to make your St. Patrick's Day extra sweet, try this fun cupcake.
Ingredients:
1 box of Andes After Dinner Mints
1 1/4 cups Bailey's Irish Cream Coffee Creamer
3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
Directions:
Mix cake ingredients together with electric mixer. Then take mints and chop into small pieces. Take half the chocolate mints and mix into cake batter. Fill cupcakes liners with cake batter and top off with other half of chopped mints. Bake as directed until set in a 350 degree oven. Serve hot or at room temperature. Makes 18 cupcakes. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteHi Ramona, I am finally recieving your posts in my e-mail. I have missed you lady. These cupcakes sound like a wonderful treat I should have made last week when the kids were here. They look totally delicious!. Stop by when you get a chance, my subscribe button is finally working. Have a wonderful day my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need frosting with these babies! Using flavored coffee creamer is wonderful, I can't wait to get started on the combos I'm thinking of. Love this post!
ReplyDeleteOh these look super good. Quick and easy but definitely with that extra punch. Great idea with the Baileys! Andes candies are some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteOh Ramona! I want one now!!! You know...you don't need icing on these beauties. The best part of these, for me, are those little pieces of Andie's bars poking out on top! Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteBailey's and Andres mint - two irresistible sweets in a chocolate cupcake! The kids were right - definitely didn't need any icing!
