The Chocolate Touch Summary

As a sophisticated after dinner chocolate treat, this recipe makes about 40 mini cupcakes which are great to serve with coffee. The chocolate cake recipe is rich but refreshed with a minty zing which cuts through the sweet richness and tingles on the tongue.

Using After Eight Mints or any other chocolate mint creams as an instant icing topping, these cupcakes are quick and easy to make – and look and taste wonderful. Simply leave topped with melted midnight chocolate mints and a night time sprinkle of silver or green edible glitter. Alternatively, this delicious chocolate mint sponge makes a fun cupcake for parties, topped with a few minty sweets like mentos or green and blue chocolate Smarties.
