What to make in mini-cupcake papers?

I made peanut butter cups but the chocolate melting went horribly wrong.. does anyone have the recipe for the mint ones or other ideas? I have basic ingredients.

125g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup (185mL) milk

icing
50g unsalted butter
2 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Sprinkles or lollies (e.g. mini marshmallows or jaffas) to decorate

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place muffin papers in one 12-hole muffin tray or cupcake papers in two 12-hole cupcake trays. In an electric mixer, beat butter for 2 minutes until pale in colour and creamy. Add sugar one third at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for about a minute between each addition. Add the vanilla essence and beat until combined.

Sift flour and baking powder and add half to butter mixture with half the milk, mix until well combined. Repeat with remaining flour and milk.

Fill cupcake papers ¾ full (an icecream scoop is perfect for this). Bake muffin size cupcakes for 20-25 minutes and small cupcakes for about 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer to wire racks and allow to cool completely.

Icing
Cream butter until pale and smooth. Add the milk and half the sifted icing sugar. Beat until well combined. Add the remaining icing sugar and beat until mixture is light and fluffy. The mixture should be a spreadable paste; if it is too dry add some more milk, if too wet add more icing sugar.

When cakes are cold, spread generously with icing and dip into sprinkles or decorate with small lollies.

its super simple but seriously dont forget to sift the flour otherwise you get little lumps making them quite unpleasent

Could you use the choc mint chocolate? When melting choc has to be in a bowl sitting in a pot of water, that water can never touch the choc and would come less than half way up the bowl. I don't stir until the choc has partly melted.
