- 7 ounces Marshmallow fluff or creme
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in pans for 30 minutes.
Frosting
- Add marshmallow creme, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to a bowl. Mix on low for 2-3 minutes, then mix on high for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Add frosting to a piping bag with a tip 1A or another tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
- Add a mini candy cane to the side and a few mini marshmallows on top.
Notes
- For even more chocolate flavor, make this recipe with chocolate cake mix.
- For even baking, fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 of the way full. This will give the cupcakes room to rise without overflowing.
- If you don’t have a piping bag you can use a ziploc bag with the corner cut off to add the frosting to the cupcakes.
- You can use cocoa powder instead of hot cocoa packets for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- You can substitute a flavored coffee creamer for the milk in the icing. Choose peppermint coffee creamer or eggnog flavored to add some holiday spirit to the frosting.
