Holiday Velvet Cupcakes

Directions

• 1 Heat oven to 350° F. Line cupcake tin with papers and set aside.
• 2 Begin by mixing together cake mix by following instructions on the box. Once mixed, divide batter into two separate bowls.
• 3 In one bowl, mix green food coloring until achieving desired results (for darker color, add a spoonful or two of cocoa powder to the batter.)
• 4 To the other bowl, mix in ¼ cup cocoa powder and a few drops of red food coloring.
• 5 Fill ½ of an ice cream scoop with green batter, and repeat by filling the other side with red batter. Scoop into paper-lined cupcake tin.
• 6 Bake cupcakes for the time specified on the cake mix box.
• 7 While cupcakes are cooling, dip Stuffed Puffs® Filled Marshmallows into water, one at a time. This will ensure the marshmallows melt smoothly.
• 8 Top each cupcake with a water-dipped marshmallow and place, one by one, into the microwave for 10 seconds or less. Watch carefully, as the marshmallows will melt very quickly.
• 9 Let each cupcake settle and the marshmallow deflate, as it becomes “frosting!” Decorate with sprinkles, if desired, and enjoy.
