When we go to potluck dinners, we always like to take a dessert. Often we like to take cupcakes, as they are easy to grab and eat.  For Christmas potluck dinners, these Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting are a big hit. They are festive and delicious. The cupcakes are made from a recipe from Our Good Life, a sister blog to Christmas Tree Lane.

The recipe for the cupcakes is located toward the end of the post. It has both the cupcake recipe and the recipe for the delicious marshmallow buttercream.


A little fun about potluck dinners: Wikipedia says a potluck is a communal gathering where each guest brings a dish to share. There is a little disagreement where the word may have come from, the English claim it through Thomas Nashe when he wrote about the "luck of the pot." North Americans, particularly Native Americans, claim the term through the potlatch, which is a feast of gift-giving. Interesting, isn't it?
