Hot Chocolate Cupcakes

These Hot Chocolate Cupcakes are super cute and taste wonderfully delicious! They are the perfect dessert for all this cold, freezing weather we have been having here in Kentucky. The boys have been off school due to snow and below zero temps so I decided to make them some Hot Chocolate Cupcakes that I served with Hot Chocolate - Easy as 1-2-3!

The boys and I loved these scrumptious cupcakes. The icing really does taste like a marshmallow! If you love hot cocoa then be sure to try these cupcakes!
