Ingredients

  • Chocolate Cupcakes I used a mix
  • Regular Sized Marshmallows
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup + 1 teaspoon water
  • Shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • Bake cupcakes according to the recipe directions. 2-3 minutes before the cupcakes are done baking and the top depresses just a bit when pressed, gently press a marshmallow onto the top of the cupcake and return to the oven to finish baking.
  • When the cupcakes come out, gently press the marshmallow so that is spreads to cover the entire top of the cupcake.
  • While cupcakes are still warm and in the cupcake pan, combine corn syrup and water and carefully brush a tiny bit on the top of each marshmallow frosting to make sticky. Cover the top of each cupcake with shredded coconut and let cool completely in the cupcake pan.
  • When cool, remove cupcakes and enjoy!
