Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 12 large marshmallows halved
- 2 tubs tubs whipped white frosting 14 ounce each
- 48 brown Mini m&ms
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two cupcake tins with black cupcake liners.
- Mix together the cake mix, eggs, chocolate milk and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl until completely combined, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally with a spatula.
- Scoop the cupcake batter into the prepared cupcake tins, filling each liner about ⅔ full with batter. Do not overfill.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
- To decorate the cupcakes, place one half of a marshmallow on the middle of the top of each cupcake.
- Scoop the frosting into a piping bag prepared with a 2A Wilton tip.
- Pipe the frosting around the bottom of the marshmallow and then gradually move inward creating an ice cream type spiral of frosting on the cupcake.
- Place two brown mini M&Ms on the front of the spiral as eyes.
- Repeat with each cupcake until they are all decorated.
