Coffee and cupcakes



Check out my fellow blogger for a great cup of joe or tea idea to enjoy with these cupcakes!  Sipworthy








Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes 

You will need:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 ounces (1/3 cup) unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 cup chocolate milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

What to do:


1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pans with liners.

2. Cream together the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Beat the melted chocolate into the butter mixture. Add the eggs, peppermint extract, and chocolate milk. Beat until creamy.

3. In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking soda.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and chocolate mixture until well blended. With a spatula stir in the chocolate chips.

5. Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

  1. Have you made these?! I'm a sucker for anything mint-flavored. I might have to give these a try. Thanks for posting the recipe!

  2. I hate mint with chocolate. But I bet just a nice plain cup of coffee would go great with these. Shit throw some Bailey's in there and you've got a party!
