Ingredients

  • 15.5 ounce Box Devil's Food cake mix plus ingredients listed on the back of the box
  • 16 ounces Chocolate frosting
  • 10.5 ounces Marshmallow Fluff
  • 6 tablespoons Butter unsalted
  • 72 Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box.
  • After cupcakes have cooled completely use a sharp knife to cut a hole into each cupcake, do NOT go all the way through the bottom.
  • Save the piece that comes out of the hole and trim it so that it is a small "lid". Set next to the cupcake it came from.
  • Use a spoon to fill each hole with marshmallow cream.
  • Place the corresponding lid on top of each cupcake hole, capping off the marshmallow filling.
  • Fit your pastry bag with your tip and fill the bag with a multi-opening tip (sometimes called a grass tip) with chocolate frosting and pipe it on the top of the cupcake in a circle. Create a single layer over the top of the cupcake and then go around the outer edge of the cupcake 2 or 3 more times to build up the sides of the nest.
  • Add three candy eggs to each nest.
  • Enjoy!

Marshmallow Fluff

  • Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • Add melted butter to 10.5 ounces of marshmallow fluff.
  • Stir until the mixture is smooth.
