S'mores Cupcakes

These S'mores cupcakes are a great twist on the classic chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow treat.

The basic recipe creates a graham cracker crust topped with rich chocolate cake and marshmallow frosting. The cupcakes can then be dressed up with squares or shavings of chocolate, graham crackers or crumbs and of course a nice toasted marshmallow on top! What a festive look.

Notes

If garnishing the cupcakes with roasted marshmallows you can simply use a pick to hold them over a burner t0 lightly brown before applying to cupcake. Refrigerating the cupcake first helps avoid the frosting melting. If you don’t have time to refrigerate the cupcakes, you can always toast the marshmallow right on the cupcake with a kitchen torch.
