Rocky Road Cupcakes


I'm not a fan of marshmallows.  I think they taste like sweetened suds. But, if it's in a cupcake, then it's a different story altogether.  However, not too much of it though as it's really sweet.  I like the texture it adds to cupcakes or brownies.  It adds gooeyness when you bite into it.  Always reduce the sugar in the recipe if you plan to use marshmallows.  My children love these and I'm sure my neighbour's kid will be delighted to get some too!

And as for my friend, 17.02, sorry, don't think these will last till Monday!
