How to Make Andes Mint Chocolate

Ingredients

For the cupcakes

Chocolate Cake box mix and the ingredients to make them into cupcakes

12 Andes Mint Chocolate candies, broken into pieces

Icing-

2 sticks butter

4 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/2 tsp mint extract

2-4 tbsp milk

24 Andes Mint Chocolate candies for garnish

Yields: About 24 cupcakes

Directions

Prepare your cupcakes according to the box’s directions.

Mix in the crushed Andes Mint Chocolate candies.

Bake according to package directions.

Allow to cool completely before decorating. (Cake box mix usually yields 24 cupcakes)

For the icing, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar, mint extract and milk on high. You’ll want your buttercream to form stiff peaks. Add confectioners’ sugar to stiffen it up or milk to loosen it.

Place your frosting in a piping bag and top each cupcake with a swirl.

Add a Andes Mint Chocolate candy and sprinkles if desired.
