- Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with batter.
- Place half a marshmallow in the center of each cupcake and press down gently.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
- Top with remaining batter, covering the marshmallow and chocolate chips.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
