Mckenzie's Mom's cupcakes

okay so for the cupcakes:
one double fudge cake mix
4 eggs
one small box of instant chocolate pudding
1/2 cup of oil
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup sour cream
And then bake at 350 for probably 22-25 minutes.
Okay and then if you want the icing recipe here it is:
gently blend together:
2 pounds powd sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
In small pieces add in 1/2 pound softened butter
Add:
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2-2 cups of heavy whippping cream (amount depends on thickness of cream)
Turn to high speed and whip for apx. 3 minutes.
But with the icing recipe it makes a lot and so you might want to half it depending on how many you make and whether you pipe them or not.

Mint chocolate Brownies

I made these for a baby shower and they were soooo yummy. recipe found here.

For the cakes:
Bake Devil's Food cupcakes according to the box directions, adding one teaspoon of peppermint extract to the batter.

For the frosting:
Mix 3 sticks of soft butter, 4 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring.

To decorate:
Fill a pastry bag with the frosting. (A gallon-sized ziploc works great--just snip a hole in one corner of the bag.) Swirl the frosting around the cake--I like to start on the outside and work my way in. Finally, drop a little handful of chocolate chips on top. (I recommend using a good brand of chocolate chips for this, as generic chips often have an uneven color.)
