Now, the fun part! Allow all sugary treats to cool down and then frost your cupcakes. Once frosting is set, simply stick a cookie on top! The treat looks like you spent awhile making them, but thanks to box mixes, your time is cut in half, or even more! (Feel free to make all your own mixes if your time allows it!) The Guinness makes the cupcakes ultra moist, but does not dilute the chocolate flavor. A delectable treat, especially if you’re not partaking in any green beer this year!
Enjoy you’re Guinness Cupcakes y’all!
