What could possibly be a better treat to leave for Santa than a marshmallow cream filled Hot Chocolate cupcake?  Forget the cookies this year - Santa wants one (or two) of these.  (Trust me on this one.)

I'm assuming to add the cocoa with the dry ingredients and the vanilla with the wet ingredients. Is this correct?

Why is it 1/2 c. hot chocolate mix plus 1/4 c.? Usually that is when an ingredient is used in two different parts of the recipe. I don't see the 1/4 c. used elsewhere. Is it just 3/4 c.?

I am so glad that you stopped by the blog. I looked over the recipe after I read your comment and realized that there were a couple of critical errors.
The amount of hot chocolate mix should read 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons. The cocoa should have also been listed with the dry ingredients.
Thank you for helping me find my mistakes so that I could correct them. I hope that you enjoy these hot chocolate cupcakes as much as I did.
