Gather your ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place a parchment paper on your sheet pan.
Place your cupcake liners on your sheet pan or in a muffin tin depending on your liners.
Let’s get your mixer ready by placing the paddle attachment onto the arm.
In the mixing bowl we are going to place the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda , and salt.
On the lowest setting of your mixer, mix the dry ingredients.
In the same mixer bowl, place your wet ingredients. Your Coconut oil, milk, eggs, peppermint extract, vanilla bean paste, hot water, and sour cream.
Using the mixer on low speed, mix together all ingredients until fully incorporated.
Fill your cupcake liners ¾ full.
Place in your oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. Or using the toothpick method by inserting in the center of cupcake until it comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on racks to cool
These cupcakes have to cool down completely or the ganache, frosting and bark will melt down. I personally would let cool and set aside for at least 2 hours.(you could do this step the night before and leave in the refrigerator overnight tightly wrapped.)
