    I love these cupcakes! Jr Mints used to be my favorite candy to get at the movie theater when I was a kid!

    Oh my mercy, these are incredible. I made them a few weeks ago for a lesson I taught to the 16-18 year old girls at church. I tied them up in clear cellophane and tied them up cute. The next week the girls were raving that it was the best cupcake they’d ever had. Yummy! My three year had a chocolate and frosting face and kept saying, “more cupcake please”. Thanks for being brilliant and coming up with this and many more yummies. I can smell my crockpot tacos right now…can dinner come any sooner? I live in AZ but was in CA last week and sought out a Ralphs to buy the tortilla bread…I can’t wait. Thanks again!

    Oooh, these look amazing! I just realized I wasn’t getting your feed in my reader from the switch over, but now you’re back! Can’t wait to make these.

    hellooow!! ive just discovered ur blog and i cant stop pressing the previous posts button.. everything you do looks amaazing!
    i do have one question though, i can follow recipes in the mixing/beating/whisking past, but when it comes to the oven i am horrible.. i never know how long to keep it even when it tells me like 15 minutes. How do you make sure exactly how much time you keep your cupcakes and cookies in the oven so that the inside is all gooey??

  5. Amy

    I made these tonight and added some peppermint extract in addition to the Jr.mints (since i had it) and it really kicked up the mint flavor. YUMMY!

    I always love your cake recipes with the pudding and sour cream, they are always so moist!

  6. Jessica

    I made these with my 2 year old and he loved to make them and eat them! Another great recipe! Keep them coming!

  7. Micha

    I need a muffin tin so I can make these. Jr. Mints are one mine and my mom’s favorite candy and these look amazing.

  8. Laura

    Junior Mints have always been my favorite movie candy, hands down. I will have to try these very soon!!

  9. ABowlOfMush

    Aww I LOVE Junior mints, but who doesn’t!
    What a great idea putting them with cupcakes, I can just imagine how wonderful these taste!

  10. Elizabeth - Cake or Death?

    Chocolate and mint is my favorite flavor combination! These look amazing with gooey centers…yum!

  11. Mandy

    Mmmmm! Two of my favorite flavors, this is definitely on my “to try” list! Thanks for sharing!

  12. Melody

    Who doesn’t love jr. mints! These are genius. Can’t wait to try these. Thanks for your innovative recipes!

  13. Megan

    I will be the first to tell you that these cupcakes were HEAVENLY! Just what a girl wants the day she returns from the hospital after giving birth. Thank you Picky Palate. Bless you my friend!

  14. Meghan

    Thanks so much, Jenny! I just emailed you my info 🙂

    These cupcakes look great – I love Jr mints and I’m sure they are delicious all melty in the center of these!

  15. Kara

    You always come up with the best ideas! I love chocolate mint, so I’ll have to go out and get me some Junior Mints so I can give these a try. They look so yummy!

  16. Molly

    Oh my goodness! I LOVE the mint/ chocolate combo. My birthday is tomorrow, so I might just have to make these for myself! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

  17. Jaime

    I will eat Jr. Mint after Jr. Mint until I find one that is gooey in the middle (and then, of course, I will repeat the process until I find another one). That frosting looks so smooth and dreamy, the perfect complement to a perfect Jr. Mint.

  18. Elle Bee

    Oh.my.goodness. I LOVE mint! I miss Christmas mainly for all the peppermint confections. So this is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing this fantastic idea.

  19. SarahAnne

    Oh.no.you.didn’t. I am trying so hard to watch what goes in my mouth (and consequently to my waist), but these are too good to be ignored. Totally yummy idea!

  20. Sara

    Mmmm! These look great, but to be honesty, I’m not a big fan of mint and chocolate…so, I’d put Milk Duds in the middle. 🙂 Yum!
