Instructions
Chocolate Milk Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two cupcake pans with 18 liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, chocolate milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes, until the batter is fully incorporated.
  3. In a small bowl, toss the mini chocolate chips with the cocoa powder (this step is optional but will keep the chocolate chips from all falling to the bottom of the cupcakes).
  4. Add the chocolate chips into the cake batter and stir to combine.
  5. Use a cookie scoop, or spoon, to fill your 18 prepared cupcake liners.
  6. Bake for 12-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  7. Let cool.
Chocolate Milk Buttercream Frosting
  1. To the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl with your hand mixer), add the room temperature butter and beat on medium for about 2 minutes until creamy.
  2. While the butter is creaming, in another large bowl, add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt and whisk together.
  3. Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar mix, chocolate milk, and vanilla.
  4. Once all the ingredients have been added, beat on medium for about 2 minutes.
  5. Frost your cooled cupcakes, top with sprinkles, and enjoy!
