Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
"This recipe makes twice the normal amount of frosting because you scoop it like ice cream on top. If you want to pipe them like regular cupcakes, cut the frosting in half and either use mini chocolate chips or top with regular chocolate chips (regular chocolate chips may get stuck in the piping bag)...."
