Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcake Cone

                                                          Mint Chocolate Cupcake Cone

Ingredients:

  • frosting (I make homemade frosting) 
    • Homemade frosting:
      • 1 baking stick (not buttered flavored just plain)
      • 2 tbsp of butter.
      • about 3 cups of powdered sugar (depends on how thin or thick you want your frosting to be)
      • one packet of Duncan Hines Mint Chocolate flavoring.
      • 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
      • Dash of milk
    • Steps:
      • Blend at medium, gradually going to high speed to whip the baking stick and butter.
      • Gradually add the powder sugar in. 
        • before you add more in, scrape the frosting to the center of the bowl again.
        • always go slow to fast to make sure all is whipped together.
        • if it gets too thick, add the milk in to make it creamy
        • I always do three cups or less. I love it smooth, not where you add too much powder sugar and it's gritty tasting. 
      • Blend in the mint chocolate flavoring once you reach your texture of frosting
      • Stir in your chocolate chips
  • Chocolate cake mix
  • Ice cream cones
Steps:
  1. Make your cake mix, turn oven on to preheat to desired temp.
  2. Place cones in a cupcake pan
  3. Fill cones to the line before it goes wide, if you do more over the line then your cupcake will cook over the cone.
    1. place in oven gently 
  4. Once the cupcakes are done and cooled off.
  5. Have a piping bag ready filled with your frosting. Nothing special. Just the bag.
    1. I cut a decent end of the bag to get a bigger swirl on the frosting
    2. or instead of the frosting bag you may do the norm and spread it on
  6. Pipe the frosting from out to in. That's it. 
    1. I placed mine in the freezer to freeze the frosting, so kids could lick the frosting off like a real ice cream cone.
