And they’re so simple to make, having to make a huge batch for a big party, or making a teeny-tiny batch for a party of just a few, is no sweat, either way.

You just start with your favorite cupcake recipe, a bottle of Creme de Cocoa, Creme de Minthe, frosting, a little mint extract and green dye–with some mini-chocolate chips to top ’em off!

After I have the cupcakes made and fully cooled, I like to start by combining my Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cocoa.

My mom used to mix these with ice cream–that’s what inspired me to make these Andes Mint Boozy Cupcakes…might be a new recipe coming soon…hmmm…

Just an equal amount of both makes this fabulous combination.

I remember smelling it when I was a kid and being so very excited to be a grownup to try my mom’s green boozy shake. LOL!

To make the cupcakes all Andes Mint Boozy Cupcakes…I just popped the top with a decorating tip.

The trick to this is to push it in, then give a little twist before removing.

And I always keep the little cap–don’t want any of that cupcake to go to waste.

I filled each cupcake with a couple of teaspoons of my Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cocoa mixture.

Just drizzled it in the hole, let it soak in and added another for good measure.

When I deemed them “full” I put that special cupcake lid back on.

And, as you can tell, I was a little messy with this part, but it doesn’t really matter because that chocolate/mint mixture is going to seep all the way through the cupcake, so a little on the top hurts no one.

For extra mintiness, I thought it would be a great idea to add juuuuust a teaspoon of mint extract to my frosting.

I just used my favorite canned frosting, because I had some I didn’t want to go to waste…

Then, the green food coloring…

Now, if you wanted to be really creative, you could do half chocolate and half green frosting.

But, to be honest, I wasn’t feeling that creative and just now thought of it. LOL!

I did put some of the un-colored frosting into my decorating bag before I put the green frosting in, that way my cupcakes would have this fun frosty look.

It’s my favorite way to frost cupcakes with two tones.
