I am very excited to post this recipe. It has been in the works for several weeks and I couldn't wait to bake it. Michael and I came up with the idea together. We thought the combination of speculoos, chocolate cupcakes, and marshmallows would be amazing and it definitely is! This chocolaty cupcake has a speculoos filling with marshmallow fluff frosting and graham cracker crumbs on top. While this recipe is not difficult it does get a bit messy, but it's worth it.
Ingredients
a box of chocolate cake mix (I used Angel food but any chocolate variation will work)
Speculoos
a jar of marshmallow fluff
chocolate chips
5 graham cracker squares
eggs & vegetable oil (amount varies depending on cake mix used)
First, mix cake mix and cake mix ingredients according to the instructions on the box. Add in chocolate chips to your liking and mix. I probably used about 1 cup. Fill cupcake liners with batter and bake as instructed by the cake mix box.
Once cupcakes have been baked and cooled, cut the center angling the knife so you cut out a cone shape. Scoop about a teaspoon of speculoos into the hole and replace the top over the speculoos.
This is the really messy part; frosting the cupcake with the marshmallow. The fluff needs to be microwaved to make it easily spreadable. I did about a cup at a time, microwaving for about 15-20 seconds in a little bowl and spread using a spatula. I had to repeat this about 4 times to get all of the cupcakes frosted.
Next, using a ziplog bag, crush the graham crackers by crushing them with a hand or a cup.
Finally, sprinkle the cupcakes with the graham crackers. You should use a baking sheet or paper towels under the cupcakes because otherwise crumbs will get everywhere.
Enjoy!
Thanks for all of your help Daniel :)
