Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners. For the batter, cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour a bit at a time, alternating with the milk. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into paper liners so that they are 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 mins. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the buttercream frosting, beat together butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in half the powdered sugar, then the milk, then the remaining powdered sugar. Tint pink with a few drops of red food coloring. Spread on cupcakes and top with the mini egg slices to serve.
