SIMPLE S’mores Cupcakes

These cute little cupcakes have all the flavor of a S’more but without the mess!  A mini graham cracker crust is topped with a chocolatey moist cupcake that is filled with mini chocolate chips and then topped with a fluffy marshmallow frosting.

What’s not to love about that?

How to make S’more Cupcakes:

Start by making the ‘graham cracker’ part of the S’more, which in this case is in the form of a crust.  Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter together and bake for until done.

Next comes the cupcake portion and that is done by combining a boxed cake mix (your choice of course, but might we suggest a dark chocolate) with some eggs and buttermilk.

And finally the frosting tops it all off with some butter, marshmallow creme, powdered sugar and vanilla.

Don’t get us wrong, we love ourselves a good, gooey s’more over a fire, but this little cupcake here can be enjoyed even during one of your most uppity cocktail parties.
