Fudgy Mint Cupcakes

• 1 (10 ounce) package mint chocolate chips
• 12 cup butter
• 1 14 cups flour
• 12 teaspoon baking powder
• 12 teaspoon baking soda
• 18 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 34 cup sour cream
• 12 teaspoon vanilla or 12 teaspoon mint extract
• 13 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Grease and flour 12 standard-size muffin cups, or line with paper wrappers; set aside.
3. CUPCAKE BATTER: Melt 1 cup of the mint chips and the butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
4. Remove pan from heat; set aside.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
6. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs for about 1 minute.
7. Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is light.
8. Reduce mixer speed to medium; blend in the melted chocolate mixture, sour cream, and vanilla.
9. Reduce mixer speed to low; blend in the flour mixture, 1/3 at a time, just until combined.
10. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups; bake until the tops are shiny and crackled but still soft when lightly pressed with a fingertip, about 20 minutes.
11. Cool completely in the tins on a wire rack.
12. MAKE THE GLAZE: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over moderate heat.
13. Add the remaining 1 cup mint chips, butter, and corn syrup, shaking the pan to immerse the chocolate and butter completely in the hot cream.
14. Let stand for 1 minute; beat with a spoon until smooth.
15. Spoon glaze over the tops of the cooled cupcakes; let stand until set.
