Cooking spray

Chocolate cake mix

Marshmallow Creme

Let?s Bake some Cupcakes!

1. Make cake mix according to package directions in a large mixing bowl. http://kidscookingshop.com/red-batter-bowl Simply coat the insides of oven safe mugs (ceramic, pottery and china) with cooking spray, and then fill the mugs halfway with your favorite chocolate cake batter. We used a mix for German chocolate cake, which is a lighter color than regular chocolate cake and looks more like hot cocoa.
Follow the cupcake baking instructions on the cake mix package. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Allow the cakes to cool for about 15 minutes.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of marshmallow creme and dig in!
