These mint aero cupcakes are oozing with that unique chocolatey peppermint taste that you can only get from an Aero bar, but in a delightful cupcake form. They're much healthier and kids will love them!
Today, I bring you my delicious mint aero cupcakes.
Requested by my other half to be made as chocolatey and minty as possible but with no butter and “more healthy”, than other such recipes that are available online!
And the verdict?
She loves these mint aero cupcakes!
I must admit I literally had to stop myself gorging on them before I let my colleagues at work taste test them too.
They went down so well that I was asked to make another batch as soon as possible!!
