Description
Delicious chocolate cupcakes filled with marshmallow fluff, topped with colorful candies and marshmallow petals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 cupcakes Chocolate cupcakes
- 4 cups Marshmallow frosting
- 1 cup Marshmallow fluff
- 2 cups Jelly beans (Or any round candy you like such as m&m or Skittles)
- 1 bag (10 oz.) Marshmallows (You can also use mini marshmallows to make small petals or large marshmallows to make larger petals)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar (Divide the sugar into a few smaller cups and color each batch with a few drops of liquid food coloring)
Instructions
- Bake chocolate cupcakes and allow them to cool fully to room temperature.
- While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
- Fill each cupcake with marshmallow fluff. Check out this detailed post on How to Make Filled Cupcakes (Stuffed Cupcakes).
- Spread a thin layer of icing on top of each cupcake with a spatula. It does not need to be perfectly smooth.
- Fill each mini plastic flower pot with about 1 tbsp of jelly beans. This is optional. My family likes the little hidden surprise.
- Place the frosted cupcake in each pot on top of the jelly beans.
- Spread some more frosting on top of the cupcake and use a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Cut each marshmallow diagonally with scissors.
- Place them in a bowl of colored sugar.
- Mix with a spoon until the sticky side is fully covered in colorful sugar.
- Stick them on top of your frosted cupcakes. Start from the outer edge and work your way inwards. Make one row of petals, then a second row, then a third row until the top is completely covered in petals.
- Place a small jelly bean or m&m candy in the center and you are done. Enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe is fun for parties and gatherings.
