Chocolate Orange Cupcakes with Marshmallow center - Recipe

For the Cupcakes:
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 cup water (or buttermilk if you choose)
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
1 tsp. orange extract
1 1/2 tbsp. grated orange zest
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
30-40 mini marshmallows

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips and marshmallows) in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low-medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula until evenly dispersed. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into each well of a muffin tin lined with baking cups. Press 1-2 mini marshmallows down into the centre of the unbaked cupcake. Bake for 18-22 minutes (depending on your oven). Remove pans from oven and cool for 30 minutes.

For the glaze:
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tsp. orange extract

2. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or medium bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring until completely melted. Add the cream and orange extract with a whisk, and stir until well combined. Cool slightly and pour over the cupcakes.

Makes approximately 24 cupcakes.
