03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners. (Mine are already grease proof so they keep their color.)
Step 2

Sift cake mix into a large bowl to remove any lumps. Add the rest of the cake ingredients and stir until smooth.
Step 3

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Let cool.
Step 4

Chocolate ganache: Melt chocolate chips and cream together and stir until smooth. You can do this on the stove top or in the microwave.
Step 5

Dip the tops of your cupcakes in the ganache and turn right side up to let set.
Step 6

Mint Cookie Frosting: Beat butter until smooth. Add mint and vanilla extract and 2 cups powdered sugar. Continue to add more powdered sugar until the frosting it thick enough. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk.
Step 7

Stir in as much green food coloring as desired and then gently fold in cookie crumbs. (Note: I sifted my crushed cookies because I knew I wanted to pipe out my frosting and I didn't want the tip to get clogged.)
Step 8

Pipe frosting over the ganache on the cupcakes and top with a Thin Mint and extra crushed cookie pieces.
