I used a basic chocolate cake recipe (box mix would work just follow directions on the box), then added mini semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips (toss them in flour first so they don't sink to the bottom), fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out with no raw batter on it. Β I got about 24 cupcakes.
For the frosting, cream the following in a mixer until smooth:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Then add the following:
1 lb 10x confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon meringue powder
pinch of salt
Mix together about 2 minutes until smooth, then make a cup of instant hot chocolate and add 2 tablespoons to the frosting. Mix on medium until fluffy. You can add more hot chocolate if the frosting is too stiff. I used a Wilton 2M tip for the swirls. Sprinkle finished cupcake with cinnamon and mini marshmallows.
Enjoy and thanks for lookingΒ

You're welcome, and I forgot that instead of the 1 cup of shortening I usually do, I substituted that with only a 1/2 cup shortening and a stick of butter (room temp) - sorry!
