TOOTHPASTE CUPCAKES!!!

Made ya look!

Haahahahhahahaha

*No toothpaste was harmed in the making of these cupcakes*

I've seen a ton of posts on Mint and Chip cupcakes so I decided to make my own.  Originally I wanted to make these with Thin Mints however, I decided too late and there was not a Girl Scout in sight to sell me some cookies.  How is it I can avoid them for months and when I want to find one they are done selling.!

So onto the cupcakes.  I'm not sure what to call them but DELICIOUS!  Just kidding but they were (see Hubby Rating below).  I don't have time to add the recipe but essentially I had a recipe for Triple Chocolate Cupcakes, added crushed mint oreos to the batter instead of the chocolate chips called for in the recipe, sandwiched an Andes Mint in the middle of the cake, topped with mint buttercream, drizzled with chocolate glaze and finished with white nonpareil (Definition:  a small pellet of colored sugar for decorating candy, cake, and cookies Thank you Dictionary.com).

Can you see the Andes Mint in there?!
