Mmm...Mmm...Good!

I made some mint filled brownie cupcakes last night. Yum, yum! I was in charge of a co-worker's birthday, and these were the delectable treat I chose! I made the brownie batter from scratch, but you could easily do this with a boxed mix. You scoop one spoonful into the cups, then place a York peppermint pattie on top and wiggle it down into the batter a bit. (I ate several York's at this point.)

Then you fill the rest of the cup to the top with more brownie batter and bake. This is what they looked like when they came out of the oven. They were SO perfect!The recipe didn't call for anything else to be done with the brownies, but I took one look at them and thought they would look pretty with a little sprinkling of powdered sugar. I went to town with that, and I thought they looked just so cute! They were so easy and super tasty - they vanished pretty stinkin' quick at work too, so I'm thinking that others liked them as well.
