These cute cupcakes couldn't be easier and they taste just like the beloved hostess snoballs! Just add a marshmallow to the top of the cupcakes before they are done baking and let them melt and become the "frosting". Top with coconut and that's it!
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.
