S’mores Cupcakes

Summer time, calls for backyard parties…and well that naturally call’s for s’mores. I’ve been on a s’mores bend lately, making them every chance that I get. There’s just something about the gooey toasty marshmallow slammed between two graham crackers smothered with chocolate.

I was thinking about the different ways to use those three magical ingredients, and that’s when I thought DING DING DING S’mores cupcakes! I used this recipe but made a few changes. I baked a layer of graham cracker crumbs into each cupcake liner before filling them with chocolate cake batter. Once they were baked and cooled, I “frosted” them with homemade marshmallow fluff. The fluff was very easy to make, I can proudly say I will never resort to the jarred stuff again! Since I didn’t have a kitchen torch, I placed the cupcakes into the broiler to get the toasted effect. I lastly topped them with a graham cracker and a small square of chocolate. Try it out, let me know how it goes! Next up in my s’mores mission….milkshakes.
