Directions:

  6. Add a few drops of mint extract to batter and mix well.
  7. Spoon batter into 12 cupcake papers.
  8. Sprinkle chocolate chips over cupcakes.
  9. Bake 20-25 minutes.

  13. Add food coloring if using it.
  14. Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and refrigerate until frosting is hard.
  15. For ganache, place chocolate and cream in microwave, cooking in 15 second increments until cream is warm to the touch and chocolate starts to melt.
  16. Stir until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is homogeneous- you want the chocolate melted but not cooked.
  17. Let ganache cool slightly.
  18. Dip cupcakes in chocolate ganache, leaving a little of the butter cream showing.
