About this recipe

While staying in London, I fell in love with After Eight chocolates and their minty filling. When I was putting together recipes for a chocolate-themed Christmas week, I couldn't resist trying cupcakes with a chocolate and mint flavour. The experiment turned out brilliantly – I decorated them with pieces of After Eight chocolate, and out of the whole chocolate lineup, everyone loved these the most.
