Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 box vanilla cupcake mix, 3 eggs, 0.5 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4
Spread a generous layer of the 1 jar marshmallow fluff over each cooled cupcake, using a spatula to create swirls.
Step 5
Top each frosted cupcake with a sprinkle of the 1 cup mini marshmallows, pressing lightly so they stick. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
