  • 3.9 oz. package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup hot chocolate or chocolate milk*

Preparation

Step 1

Cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line cupcake pan with liners.

Combine cupcake ingredients in mixing bowl and beat until well combined, making sure to scrape down the sides as needed.

Add about 1/4 cup of batter to each liner so they're about ¾ full.

Bake cupcakes for about 18-20 minutes until toothpick comes clean.

Let set in pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to oven rack to finish cooling.

Core out the center of the cupcakes and pipe in fluff until each is full.

Frosting:

Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix in mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.

Pipe frosting onto cupcakes and sprinkle with sprinkles and mini marshmallows.
