• Sprinkle a buttered loaf pan with 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, then pour the marshmallow concoction over crumbs. Chill thoroughly.

CHRISTMAS TREE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter to a large bowl and cream together using a hand or stand mixer.
• Beat in the vanilla, eggs, sour cream and buttermilk.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa, instant coffee, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir just to combine.
• Divide the batter evenly in the prepared muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
• In a small bowl, stir together the vanilla frosting and green food coloring. Start with about 5 drops of green food coloring, stir, and see if you like the shade or if you want to add a few more drops to get a deeper green color.
• Spoon the colored frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Start by piping a center star and then work your way around the top of the cupcake, moving slowly in as you go, to form a triangular shape, like a tree.
• Top with your favorite holiday sprinkles and dust with the confectioner's sugar for a snowy effect.
• Serve and enjoy!
