I don't remember when I first made these but I love them because they're so easy to put together and everyone can't get enough! You can easily substitute the Andes for any other candy you think would be suitable, I tried chopped caramel-filled chocolate bars and they were just as popular. I always add a package of instant pudding mix to my cake recipes for moisture and richness. Don't bother with frosting for these cupcakes, they're rich enough as it is and stand well enough on their own.
Ingredients
- 1 package of Devil's Food chocolate cake mix
- 1 package of french vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 package of chopped Andes mints
Directions
- Heat oven as directed for cake mix.
- Add the chocolate cake mix, the pudding mix and whatever else the cake mix requires (usually eggs, water and oil) to a large bowl.
- Mix/beat as directed.
- Stir in Andes.
- Transfer to cupcake pan lined with cupcake liners.
- Bake as directed.
Yeah, it's that easy. I probably made it more complicated than it actually is, lol. Don't worry if the cupcakes aren't all lovely and round on top when baked. Their humble appearance adds to them somehow. When you're checking for done-ness, remember the Andes are melted. :)
