I created this recipe for my non-chocolate-liking husband. The strawberries bring a nice sweetness to the dessert, and the toasted marshmallows are a delicious addition!
Real Pistachio Cupcakes
St. Patrick would approve of this recipe because these pistachio cupcakes are the real deal. No pudding mixes here — just roasted pistachios. A wonderfully not-too-sweet pale green cupcake that is sure to please. Easy and quick to make, too!
