Chocolate cake with mint frosting
One of my favorite sweets is mint chocolate chip. I decided it would be fun to combine that flavor with a cupcake. Top it off with an Andes mint and serve with a scoop of ice cream to create one of the best gourmet chocolate desserts ever. Yum!

- It sounds yummy. Last week, I made Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies and I added a bag of Andie's mints to the batter. That was good, too! [but I didn't make cupcakes.. just one big bar]
