Liz makes chocolate cheesecake cupcakes with marshmallow flowers

Geez, that's probably the longest blog title I've ever written. Oh well, once you get one of these cupcakes into your mouth, you won't care how long it takes to say "chocolate cheesecake cupcakes with marshmallow flowers" ever again. My mom came to town this weekend and we had a ton of fun. We always do. These cupcakes were only one of the highlights from this weekend!

Okay, so in order to make these cupcakes, you'll need some ingredients.

A cake mix, three eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup water, half block of cream cheese, mini chocolate chips, chocolate frosting and jumbo marshmallows.

Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil and water in a bowl. No lumps!

Place your cupcake liners in your cupcake pan and put a spoonful of cake batter into each one. Put a dab of cream cheese on top.

Now place a small handful of mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese. Then spoon another bit of cake batter on top of that, like in the top left cupcake liner.

Bake according to the back of the cake mix box. Let cool!

Frost with frosting of choice. We chose something chocolatey and fudgey.

If you wish, you can stop right here and still have delicious cupcakes. But we, of course, did not.

Now grab a jumbo marshmallow. Cut four slits (with scissors) but not all the way down. Fan your five slits until the far left one is touching the far right one. Make it look like a flower. Now dip in some sprinkles! The marshmallow will be sticky, so the sprinkles will have no problem sticking.

Place on top of cupcakes and enjoy!

Have a great week!

Love, Liz
