This chocolate mug cake is the perfect answer for any sweet craving. Plus, it's filled with delicious, creamy Harry & David Chocolate Truffles which are hard to resist. We dare you to eat just one. The chopped chocolate truffle pieces melt into little pools of goodness while the cake bakes, and the mini marshmallows add another layer of decadence.

Chocolate

This chocolate mug cake batter is made with hot cocoa mix and cocoa powder to boost the chocolate flavor. It comes together quickly and the whole cake bakes in just one minute. It's so easy to make that the kids can handle the whole project all by themselves. Getting them to clean up, well, good luck with that.
