I am in love with chocolate mint. Who would have thought that such an odd-couple combination would be so tasty. Honestly, sometimes I eat chocolate right after I brush my teeth and think about how good it tastes. But I’m weird. These are some normal cupcake recipes that really harness the deliciousness of chocolate and mint in cupcake form.

The cool thing about making lists like these is that I get to watch a lot of videos and see really how diverse recipes can be. Even with something so specific as chocolate mint cupcakes, you can get a wide range of techniques.

No list of chocolate mint cupcake recipes would be complete without replicating the famous thin mint girl scout cookies. This is also a fun recipe though because it features some unique things like vanilla pudding, crushed cookie topping, and a full cookie dipped into the buttercream frosting.

The cupcake itself is also green, and you don’t see that often! Most mint chocolate cupcake recipes are featuring chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting. So we’re going to get started with with white cake mix instead of chocolate so that we can add food coloring to make green cake.

Here’s a twist on mint cupcakes that we’ve been posting this week. These are called “mini cakes” because they’re stacked like a cake, but it’s essentially a decked out cupcake. But do we really need an excuse to get more chocolate mint cake ideas published? Nope.

So we’re going to start out with any cake recipe you like. You pick! For this recipe, I recommend something dense, dark, and chocolatey. We’re going to freeze these, and personally, I think fluffier recipes don’t stand up to the freezer as well. I also think that a denser recipe will stand up to getting cut an handled better.
