Preheat the oven to 350 and fill a standard 12 count cupcake tin with liners.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.
Add the eggs and milk to the mixing bowl. Mix on high speed until the eggs have been thoroughly beaten.
Gently mix in the baking powder, flour, and hot chocolate powder on a low speed until no clumps remain in the cupcake batter.
Fill the cupcake liners with batter and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, cut the marshmallows in half and place one half on each cupcake with the sticky side face down. Place the cupcakes under a high broiler for 3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!

Any leftover cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

You can use your favorite hot chocolate powder in this recipe. We have used both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. But taste great in this recipe.
