Mare of the blog Meet Me in the Kitchen was kind enough to let us repost this photo of her Thin Mint cupcakes. Here's what she wrote about them:
I had exactly 1 sleeve of Thin Mint cookies left and that is what you crush up and add to Martha Stewarts One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe. I made the vanilla buttercream Laura made, but reduced the milk and vanilla and added 1/4 tsp pure mint extract, for just a hint of mint in the frosting. I also added just a tiny bit of green food coloring.
She was inspired by this post from The Food Librarian.
In turn, I was inspired to look up other photos of mint chocolate cupcakes, and these are a few I found for you to drool over:
