Recipe



Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray small muffin cups (1 3/4 inches in diameter) with vegetable cooking spray.

In medium bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add egg, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake 10 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

Frost with Cocoa Frosting. Garnish with blue sprinkle and/or white frosting piped onto cupcakes in star pattern. Alternate cupcakes, marshmallows and strawberries on wooden skewers. Makes about 4 dozen cupcakes.

Note: The number of kabobs will be determined by the length of the skewer used and the number of cupcakes, marshmallows and strawberries placed on each skewer.

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
