Chocolate Fondue Cupcakes

3 cups flour
3 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup veg oil
1/4 cup marshamallows
Preheat oven to 350.
To make crust, combine flour, sugar, butter, baking soda, and salt with your hands until it forms a dough. Roll the dough out into a thick layer (1/2"-1"), and place the dough over an oiled muffin tin. Place a second cupcake tin, oiled on the flip side, over the dough, using your fingers and a little common sense to adjust any spots where the dough looks like it might not make it through the process. Bake for 10 minutes, pull out the muffin tins, and push the top tin down -- it should stick. Bake for another 10 minutes, then take the top tin off carefully and bake for another 5 minutes or until brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Combine the chocolate chips, veg oil and marshmallows in a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring continuously. When this mixture has liquefied, remove it from the heat.Skewer a few marshmallows, pieces of fruit or whatever else you like to dip. Remove the cupcake shells from the tin, use a food scissor to carefully cut them apart from one another and fill them up with chocolate and decorate with skewers.
