Gradually add in powdered sugar while mixing.

Refrigerate the cupcakes until you are ready to serve.
Optional** When serving, garnish with graham crackers or crumbs, chocolate (chips, squares or shavings) and toasted marshmallows.
Notes
If garnishing the cupcakes with roasted marshmallows you can simply use a pick to hold them over a burner t0 lightly brown before applying to cupcake. Refrigerating the cupcake first helps avoid the frosting melting. If you don’t have time to refrigerate the cupcakes, you can always toast the marshmallow right on the cupcake with a kitchen torch.
