Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Toasted Marshmallow Cupcakes

The second I saw these cupcakes, I knew I had to make them.
Chocolate? Peanut butter cookie dough? Marshmallow frosting/meringue? Can there BE a better combination?
I generally always try to bake interesting desserts - like instead of making boring brownies, I make cheesecake-swirled brownies. Instead of plain old chocolate cupcakes, I make these babies.


Firstly, the chocolate cake itself was AMAZING. I was a bit nervous about using the vinegar at first, but it made the cupcakes taste really good. The cupcakes don't really rise that much, which makes them perfect to stuff with cookie dough. The peanut butter cookie dough was also really good - so good that I kept nomming it! I was lucky that I had enough to stuff into the cupcakes with. As for the frosting, however... it wasn't that great. Initially I'd tried the recipe that Joy used, but I just couldn't get any peaks, so I used my mom's meringue recipe for it. It was rather bland compared to the rest of the cupcakes, so I'd use a chocolate frosting or something like that. Maybe a cream cheese one? (You can't go wrong with cream cheese frosting! ;))


So... you should make these. Now.
