There is an unrivalled beauty about pairing Chocolate and Marshmallows together – whether its for cookies, puddings, desserts or anything else, it’s like a union of divine tastes that is sure to produce a rich and sultry end result! Marshmallows are pure and fluffly, like clouds of air, while Choclate lends that dense and dark quality that makes a dessert enticing. And that’s precisely what makes these Chocolate Marshmallow Cupcakes so adorable and irrestible! And to top it, we use Coconut-Marshmallow frosting – need I say more?![Recipe & photo courtesy of Donna from Corkscrews & Spatulas]
