S’mores Cupcakes Delightful and Easy Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff
• as needed pieces mini chocolate bars (e.g., Hershey's)
• as needed cup extra graham cracker crumbs
• as needed pieces mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Once combined, add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a piping bag or a spatula to generously frost each cupcake with the marshmallow frosting.
9. Top each frosted cupcake with a piece of mini chocolate bar, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, and 2-3 mini marshmallows.
10. For an authentic s'mores experience, place the cupcakes under the broiler on low for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are golden and slightly toasted, keeping a close eye on them so they don't burn.
