Instructions

For the Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to the temperature listed on the cake mix package. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil, and eggs.
  • Stir in the mint extract and 1/4 cup Girl Scouts Thin Mints™ Seasoning Blend.
  • Fill cupcake liners in muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks.

For the Frosting

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, vanilla, 1/4 cup Girl Scouts Thin Mints™ Seasoning Blend, and 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Use an electric handheld mixer to beat until creamy.
  • Slowly continue adding in the additional powdered sugar until the frosting thickens up.
  • Add milk one teaspoon at a time until frosting is spreadable. You may not need to use all of the milk. Add in the food coloring and beat until the frosting is the desired color.
  • Spread or pipe frosting onto cupcakes and sprinkle with additional Girl Scouts Thin Mints™ Seasoning Blend. You can also garnish each cupcake with half of a Thin Mint cookie.
