World's Best Chocolate Oatmeal Cupcake
These chocolate oatmeal cupcakes are rich, moist, and phenomenal! The quick oats lend a moistness and richness to the batter, though you won't taste the oats. The frosting turns into a layer of chocolate softness with a slightly crisp exterior. YUM!

To make the frosting: In a heavy saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and milk together over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to low. Add mini chocolate chips and marshmallows, constantly stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and allow frosting to cool about ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Stir again, and use frosting while it's quite warm (not liquid, but not crystallized yet.) Spread onto tops of cupcakes, and let cool.
