All month long Share Our Strength: No Kid Hungry has teamed up with more than 50 bloggers for a Progressive Holiday Dinner as we Share our Holiday Table with the world!
I am very honored to be able to be part of this wonderful program! The Progressive Dinner started with Appetizers and ends with Dessert. I am finishing the dinner off with these yummy Hot Cocoa Cupcakes.
Yummy Hot Cocoa Cupcakes to warm you up this winter! Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
Ingredients
- Cupcakes {baked and cooled}
- 1 jar of Marshmallow Fluff
- 1 container (8 oz) of Cool Whip

- peppermint sticks
Instructions
- Mix the marshmallow fluff and Cool Whip, beat until fluffy.

Cupcakes are darling. I hae one question. Being as the frostinig is made partly from Cool Whip, do the cupcakes have to be served immediately, put in the refrigerator, or can they be left out?
I would keep them in the fridge, and then let them come to room temp before serving them. Thanks so much for stopping by! Merry Christmas!

Those are some pretty cupcakes! And easy enough for me to make gluten free! Thanks for the inspiration!
These look amazing!!
How wonderful!
When you say a jar of Fluff, what size/how many ounces? Thanks!
Half and half is good, mix 1/2 marshmallow fluff and 1/2 Cool Whip. You can add to your taste, if you like more marshmallow or more Cool Whip.
You are so talented! I always love your presentations! ;D
These are so cute but the frosting “recipe” doesn’t work at all! When you beat them
Together they become a gooey runny mess. I even tried adding powdered sugar and all it did was make it way too sweet but still a gooey mess. Now I have to buy more p/s to make a buttercream frosting to decorate my cupcakes. What a waste of time and money.
I’m sorry the frosting didn’t work out for you Lynn. Sometimes mine is runny as well, but if I add powdered sugar it comes together.
