Ingredients

Cupcakes:

1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk

Topping:

2 cups cold milk
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding (such as Jell-O®)
1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)
½ (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, or as needed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Cream sugar and butter for cupcake together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Combine flour and baking powder; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
While cupcakes cool, combine cold milk and pudding mix for topping in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Let pudding mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Mix 1/2 cup whipped topping into pudding mixture. Pipe the pudding on top of the cooled cupcakes. Place a dollop of remaining whipped topping on top of each cupcake. Garnish with marshmallows and sift cocoa powder over tops.

Cook's Notes:

Follow individual package instructions on preparing pudding mix.

For an extra touch, take any extra pudding and stuff the insides of the cupcakes.
