Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that it’s ready when your cupcakes are prepped for baking.
-
Prepare the cake mix: Follow the directions on the chocolate cake mix box to prepare the batter. This typically involves mixing the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water as instructed. Ensure the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Incorporate remaining ingredients: Once your cake batter is ready, add in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Gently fold these ingredients into the batter until they are evenly distributed. This step adds the signature rocky road flavor and texture to your cupcakes.
-
Blend well: Use a spatula or spoon to blend the ingredients thoroughly into the cake batter. Make sure all the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Fill muffin cups: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease the cups lightly to prevent sticking. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the prepared rocky road cupcake batter. This allows room for the cupcakes to rise while baking.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the cupcakes for approximately 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. This indicates that the cupcakes are fully baked and ready to be enjoyed.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. This helps prevent the cupcakes from becoming soggy and allows them to set properly.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, serve these delectable Rocky Road Cupcakes to your family, friends, or guests. They’re perfect for dessert tables, potlucks, or any occasion where a sweet treat is needed. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor combined with the gooey marshmallows and crunchy walnuts in every bite!
