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.   Let's also add some vanilla…

Let's also add some vanilla pudding mix to our cake. I'm not sure what this does for the texture, but I assume it boosts the flavor and makes them moister than other cakes! If you haven't tried this method, you should.
