For the Marshmallow Filling: Melt salt in hot water and set aside. Mix marshmallow fluff, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer, until well blended. Add hot water and salt and mix thoroughly.
Transfer filling into a pastry bag with a long filling tip. Insert the tip into the center of each cupcake and fill until the cupcake is slightly heavier. It’s OK if some of the filling peeks out a little, it will be covered by the chocolate icing layer. Or you can cut out a circle in the middle of the cupcake and pipe in filling and replace top.
