Ben & Jerry. They’re the two men every woman can always count on. We all have our favorite flavor, for me, it’s Chunky Monkey! For those who may not be familiar with it, it’s a creamy banana ice cream with walnuts and chocolate chunks. Hey, that’s almost like getting a serving of fruit and protein, right? Do you think that makes it acceptable for breakfast?

So what do you do with your favorite ice cream, make a cupcake version of course! These fluffy chocolate cupcakes are filled with crunchy walnuts and topped with a creamy banana buttercream. These are perfect for a girl’s night with some good chick flicks, make them even better by throwing them in a bowl with a scoop of chunky monkey, oh, you know you want to!
