Andes Mint Cupcakes

There’s something so comforting about a special treat from the kitchen, don’t you think? That’s why these Andes Mint Cupcakes are a real gem in our household. Inspired by the classic after-dinner mint, these cupcakes are a delightful balance of chocolate and mint that’s just perfect for a family get-together or a cozy night in. Growing up, those little Andes mints were such a treat, and they hold a special place in the hearts of my family. Turning that little bite of nostalgia into a cupcake seemed like a fun way to shake up our dessert routine and bring a smile to faces young and old.

These cupcakes are quite indulgent, so I like to pair them with a light side of fresh berries or a little bowl of vanilla ice cream for those who want a bit more sweetness. You can trust me when I say, they’re just as good with a simple cup of hot coffee or a tall glass of milk for the kiddos.
