  2. Pipe a tall swirl of frosting onto each muffin and place on a serving plate.
  3. Stick a pretzel into the side of the muffin, so that it sits like a handle on a mug.
  4. Dust the tops with a little cocoa powder and scatter over the vermicelli sprinkles. Dot the cupcakes with the marshmallows and serve. Store in a cool place in an airtight container if keeping overnight.
