Decadent Chocolate Smores Cupcake

Indulge in the classic campfire treat with these easy S’mores Cupcakes. Fluffy graham cracker cupcakes are topped with a rich chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow frosting for the ultimate summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 jar marshmallow creme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
  4. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  6. Spoon ganache over cooled cupcakes.
  7. In a large bowl, beat marshmallow creme until smooth. Frost cupcakes with marshmallow creme. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallow frosting until golden brown.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, try broiling the cupcakes for a minute or two instead of using a kitchen torch, but watch them closely to prevent burning.
