Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Chocolate Ganache

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extra and oil together.
  • In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients. Flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour in half of these dry ingredients into the oil mixture and stir.
  • Add milk and gently stir again, adding the rest of the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Fill cupcake liners half full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to fully cool.
  • Start making the gonache by adding chocolate chips and whipping cream in a small bowl and microwave for 40 seconds. Remove and stir and continue to microwave until smooth.
  • Dip cooled cupcakes into the gonache and turn right side up to allow gonache to set.
  • Using your vanilla frosting or favorite homemade frosting recipe, adding small amounts of green food coloring until you have reached your desired color.  
  • Pipe frosting onto your cupcakes and top with Thin Mints!  I also crushed up a few and scattered them over the top for more yummy deliciousness!
  • Enjoy! ☺
