I have officially joined the s’mores craze. I don’t know why it took me so long. What’s not to love about rich chocolate, crunchy graham crackers, and sticky marshmallows? Here is a new way to try the classic campfire treat in cupcake form. Its starts with a graham cracker crust, then my favorite chocolate cupcakes stuffed with marshmallow fluff, and topped off with silky milk chocolate frosting and more graham cracker crumbs.

  • 1 and ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup + 1 T vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs +1 egg yolk
  • 1 and ¾ cup all purpose flour

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line cupcake tins with cupcake liners.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, 3 T of sugar and 4 T of butter.
  3. Press a scant tablespoon of the graham cracker crumb mixture into the cupcakes liners. The cupcake recipe makes about 20.
  4. Boil 1 cup water in microwave. Whisk in cocoa and vinegar until smooth. Let cool.
  5. Meanwhile, in a stand mixer, beat 1 stick butter for 4 to 5 minutes on high speed. Add the sugar and beat for another couple minutes. Add the oil and eggs, mixing well. Stir in the cocoa mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
  7. Add to the mixer and mix until just combined.
  8. Fill lined cupcake tins about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until they spring back when lightly touched. Cool completely on wire racks.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut a wedge shaped piece out of the center of each cupcake. Fill with a teaspoon or two of marshmallow fluff. Here is a great tutorial on how to fill cupcakes without fancy equipment.
  11. To make the frosting, beat the butter until smooth.
  12. Beat in 3 cups of powdered sugar until smooth.
  13. Add enough of the milk to reach the right consistency for spreading or piping. Beat in a bit of salt to taste.
  14. Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
