Using a Marshmallow as Cupcake Frosting

I saw the idea to Use a Marshmallow as Cupcake Frosting a long time ago and knew I'd have to try it some day. When my son brought over a pack of humongous marshmallows-you know, those supersized ones, I knew it was time... I cut the extra large ones in half and put the cut side down on the cupcake.
How'd it taste? Good! Very sweet and sticky.
Probably best with chocolate or pumpkin spiced cupcakes though.
As if we really needed another excuse to make pumpkin cupcakes right now...
I'm an enabler, I know:@)

I'm sharing these cute football cupcake papers and picks from Michaels for my PIGSkin Challenge this week. They were in the $2 bin and I picked them up during a 40% off sale. 
They also have matching paper plates and napkins.

Walmart has football cupcake papers from Cake Mate in the baking section too.

To use a marshmallow as cupcake frosting:
  • Place a marshmallow on top of the cupcakes when there's about 3 minutes of baking time left. Bake for the rest of the time, or until marshmallows are a little melty but still kinda fluffy.
  • Note: I did take them out of the oven after the 3 minutes, turned on the broiler and browned the tops a little. Watch very closely if you put them under the broiler.
  • I think this idea is actually meant to work with regular sized marshmallows, the humongous ones might be a little... over indulgent:@)
