    Ok - how delicious do these cupcakes look? With the weather getting cooler, the kids are asking for hot chocolate almost every day. Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows? GOOD. Cupcakes? GOOD! Even better? A combination of the two! Your kids are going to love these (and you probably will as well) and they are fairly easy to make - just a few extra steps more than making "regular" cupcakes with a store-bought mix!

    Just look at the inside of these bad boys:

    Are you drooling yet? Well then, let's get started! To make them, you will need:

    For the Cupcakes:

    • 1 chocolate cake mix + the ingredients called for in the directions on the box

    Marshmallow filling and Icing

    • 1.5 sticks softened butter
    • ½ cup confectioners sugar
    • 7 oz jar Fluff Marshmallow
    • 1 cup mini marshmallows
    • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
    • 3 colorful straws

    Directions:

    1. Make cupcakes according to box instructions. Allow to cool completely
    2. To make the icing/filling Beat butter in a mixing bowl or stand mixer until creamy
    3. Add in confectioners sugar a little bit at a time until all is added and blended
    4. Add in vanilla and marshmallow blend well
    5. After cupcakes have cooled cut a small cone in to the top of your cupcake with a knife. This is very simple (see picture). Remove the cut piece of cupcake and set to side.  Copy of IMG_0563
    6. Place your frosting in a plastic bag or in a pastry bag and squeeze frosting into the hole you just created
    7. Trim your piece of cupcake that you removed and place back on top.
    8. Swirl your frosting on top of your cupcake.
    9. Garnish with mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips and straw.
    10. Try not to eat them all at once

    Happy Baking!
