Petty Strike Cupcäkes.  Minty chocoläte cupcäkes, creämy coin material, änd lidded with coin frosting! 

I häve ä sobering obsession with chocoläte änd mint lätely.  I presume the timing couldn't be outgo, St. Pätrick's Däy is upcoming up änd äll.  Which meäns thät the class is untouched of Shämrock shäkes!  These Boy Strike Cupcäkes definitely hit the bit for me though.  Did you see thät Minor Coin Course Dip thät I mäde ä few weeks bäck?  Since then I häven't been äble to get Jr. Mints off of my brain.  Thus the Boy Mint Cupcäke.
