s'more cupcakes: graham cracker cupcakes


i've been craving s'mores cupcakes for a LONG time. well, s'mores in general. anytime the weather gets nice - i want that melty chocolate, graham cracker crunch, crispy outside/gooey inside marshmallow goodness.


these s'more cupcakes were a little different than what you usually see when browsing the web, but amazingly delicious. graham cracker cupcake goodness, melted chocolate delight on top and oozing in the middle, easy marshmallow frosting on top.


the cupcakes alone were amazing. great texture, great flavor. not to mention the other bits of deliciousness on top.


graham cracker cupcakes recipe from Nabisco. (i made a 1/2 batch because i didn't have enough graham cracker crumbs. i still used the 2 eggs, but everything else was halved.) my plan was to pipe the chocolate goodness inside the cupcake, but the chocolate didn't really want to cooperate, so i ended up smearing some on top as well. the frosting recipe adapted from Rachael Ray. since i ended up with only about 10 cupcakes, i had to alter this recipe too. i did 4-5 T butter, around a teaspoon of vanilla, about 1/2 cup of marshmallow fluff and about 1/4 cup (eyeball it) of powdered sugar.


i used this "cake decorating" tool for the first time, even though i had purchased it years ago. this was SO much easier than piping from a bag - way more control, way easier to fill and do you see that image below? yeah, no wasted frosting. every ounce scraped out.


also, isn't that fabric cute that the cupcakes are on? it's actually an apron (with an "A" on it!) that i received at my bridal shower. i don't use it as much as i should...(i always forget to put aprons on...) but the pattern i thought was perfect for something different than my usual countertop or tablecloth pics.

They look so pretty! (I think you need to blowtorch the tops of the marshmallow frosting!)

Yummy, yummy, yummy, I want S'more Cuppies in my tummy. You keep this up with all of these delicious recipes and I'm going to need a Hoveround motorized wheelchair. My fanny is growing by the second just reading your recipes. When I hang my pants on the clothesline, they resemble a circus tent flapping in the wind.

@Meri i wish i could help! actually, hubby doesn't really like pineapple, so it's not a dessert i see myself making any time soon...unless it's for my girlfriends or something :) but if i come across anything that looks delish i'll let you know!
