2. Prepare Muffin Cups: 🧁 Grease and flour 12 standard-size muffin cups or line them with paper wrappers. Set them aside for now.

3. Make Cupcake Batter:

   • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the mint chips together with the butter. Stir often until the mixture is melted and smooth. Once done, remove the pan from heat and set it aside.
   • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
   • In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs for about 1 minute until they are nice and frothy.
   • Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
   • Reduce the mixer speed to medium, then blend in the melted chocolate mixture, sour cream, and vanilla.
   • Finally, reduce the mixer speed to low and blend in the flour mixture, adding it 1/3 at a time, just until combined.

4. Bake the Cupcakes:

   • Spoon the prepared batter into the muffin cups.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and crackled. They should still be soft when lightly pressed with a fingertip.

5. Cooling:

   • Once done, cool the cupcakes completely in the tins on a wire rack.

6. Make the Glaze:

   • While the cupcakes are cooling, let’s make the delicious minty glaze!
   • In a small saucepan over moderate heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer.
   • Add in the remaining 1 cup of mint chips, butter, and corn syrup. Shake the pan gently to ensure the chocolate and butter are fully immersed in the hot cream.
   • Let the mixture stand for about 1 minute, then beat it with a spoon until smooth and creamy.

7. Glaze the Cupcakes:

   • Spoon the luscious glaze over the tops of the cooled cupcakes.
   • Allow them to stand until the glaze is set.
