- Instead of mint extract, you could also use mint essence or peppermint syrup.
- You can use mint chocolate bits instead of just chocolate chips in batter and/or garnish for more flavour.
- You could also garnish with peppermint bits for extra crunch.
- And just like that, these cupcakes have been mint-ed on our hearts forever! <3
