Rocky Road Cupcake


These ooey gooey cupcake will have you licking your fingers and grabbing another for later.  The marshmallows that are added to the batter bubble up to the top of the cupcake and make a sweet chewy top perfect for layering more marshmallow and chocolate icing goodness.  For this recipe you'll need:

  • Chocolate Cake Mix (plus ingredients to make the cake...usually eggs, oil, and water)
  • Store bought Chocolate Icing
  • 3/4 cup of Mini-Marshmallows (plus more to garnish) 
  • 1 jar of Fluff
  • Butter (room temperate...around 1/2 cup....but it's up to you)
  • Icing Sugar (optional)
And here's the recipe...

Step 1: Surprise! Follow the direction of your Chocolate Cake Mix - from preheating your oven through to adding the eggs, oil, water, etc.  Mix together the batter until smooth..

Step 2: Add 3/4 cup of Mini Marshmallows and stir until fully incorporated.  Spoon the batter into your cupcake pan liners around 3/4 of the way. Don't overfill your cupcake liners because you'll need some space between the cupcake and the top of the liner to act as a barrier to keep the fluff topping from going everywhere.  Place in the oven and bake as directed on package.  Once done, cool completely before icing 

Step 3: And now it is time to top them will ooey gooey fluff and icing - YUM!  But first we need to amp up the chocolate store bought icing by adding butter and mixing it on high until smooth.  Taste the icing and add more icing sugar if it tastes too buttery for your liking.

Step 4: And now it's time to assemble them.  First, spoon around a tablespoon of fluff onto the top of your cupcake.  Then, place your enhanced store bought icing into a piping back and pipe a layer of the chocolate icing over the top of the layer of fluff.  Last, but not least, top it with a mini marshmallow. Enjoy the sticky, but tasty, mess.

Happy Faking!
