Cocoa Krispies Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 13x9x2 inch baking pan or line it with waxed paper, your choice.
• Measure out the 6 cups of cereal and place in large bowl; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted.
• Remove from heat and quickly stir in cereal, stirring until mixture is evenly coated.
• Press mixture into buttered baking pan. Allow to cool, then cut into 18 squares, 3 rows times 6.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the butter in a free-standing electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk). Beat on a slow speed until you get a sandy consistency and everything is combined.
• Whisk the milk, egg and vanilla extract together in a jug, then slowly pour about half into the flour mixture. Beat to combine and turn the mixer up to high speed, scraping any mixture from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pour in the remaining liquid and continue mixing for a couple more minutes until the mixture is smooth. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until approximately two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sponge bounces back when touched and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, make chocolate buttercream or plain buttercream and spread it over the cakes with a palette knife, or use a piping bag. Scatter over chocolate vermicelli, if you like.

Steps:

• Grease 24 muffin pans.
• Butter a 4 quart microwavable bowl on high for 45 seconds or until melted (microwave times will vary) Place marshmallows in the bowl and mix around to ensure it is coated with the melted butter.
• Place in the microwave for 45 seconds and then stir.
• Replace in the microwave for another 30 seconds or until marhmallows are melted.
• Add cereal to melted mixture and stir well.
• Firmly pack cereal into the muffin pans to form a cupcake.
• Let cool.
• After cooled, remove, frost and decorate as desired.
