Hot Chocolate Cpcake
This is a cheat recipe that I made using Duncan Hines Cake mix.
I plump up the recipe adding extras so it doesn't taste cake mixy and tastes more like homemade but super convenient.

To give it more of that hot choclate taste, I cut out a piece of cupcake and fill the hole with marshmallow filling, I used FLUFF.

I scooped a bunch of FLUFF into a zip;ock baggie, cut off the top to make it easier to pipe into the hole.

After the cupcake it filled I just pop the cut off piece back onto the top. Sometimes you may have to remove a bit of cake from the piece you cut out just so it fit back on top evenly.

Now they are ready to frost...  I use a super easy, very yummy recipe.

I even toasted the marshamllos a little with my wind resistant BBQ lighter...  ya I'm brilliant!  It's like when roasting marshmallows of a bon fire, I burnt a few..tee hee hee   :)
