S'mores Cupcakes

I <3 s'mores. 


Sadly, they are very difficult to eat with braces/missing teeth. Although I wouldn't consider  these cupcakes a "substitute" for the delicious campfire treat, they are pretty darn tasty and way easier to eat. The toasted marshmallow top is essential. I only had mini marshmallows on hand, but would recommend using half a large marshmallow instead. Also I intended on putting graham cracker crumbs on the bottom before pouring in the batter, but forgot so just crumbled on top.

S'mores Cupcakes Recipe:
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 graham crackers, crushed
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 large marshmallow per cupcake or 3 mini marshmallows per cupcake
Make your cupcakes according to the box instructions. I always make changes to mine (for example, this time I subbed buttermilk for the liquid and added 2 tbsp extra unsweetened cocoa). When the cupcakes are finished, remove from oven, re-position rack to second notch from the top and set to broil. Brush each cupcake with a little chocolate syrup (this helps the marshmallows stick), top with marshmallows and place under the broiler. This will only take like 1-2 minutes and check often! Those suckers will burn fast. Remove from oven and smush down the marshmallows a bit. Drizzle extra chocolate syrup and sprinkle with graham crackers crumbs.
