Dangerous cupcakes for your tummy

[tuff_as_snails]

I just made cupcakes.  Really good cupcakes.  I just had two... I hope I can hold off till tomorrow to have another one, but I bet you $20 I will sneak one more before bed... or a midnight snack!    They are chocolate mint cupcakes with chocolate chips sprinkled through out.

YUM.  YUM!  YUM!!

The recipe was found here http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Chocolate-Mint-Cupcakes

Ingredients:

2 cups (12 ounces) semi sweet chocolate chips divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
Makes: About 18 standard cupcakes. Each cupcake serves 1.

Okay your recipe needs one small caveat:

Makes: About 18 standard cupcakes or FIFTY BILLION miniature ones that you then have to frost one by one.
