Delicious Deluxe Smores Cupcakes Recipe - Guide Recipe
S'mores are popular for a good reason: they're one of the greatest culinary treats ever invented. Trust me , I'm a self-appointed authority on the subject.
I prefer my real over-the-campfire s'mores minus graham crackers actually. I love to roast the marshmallow til it's perfectly golden brown , maybe slightly charred even , then stuff a big chunk of milk chocolate right into the center , let it melt a little and eat the whole thing in one bite.
Or at least as much as I can get into my mouth. Some of it ends up on my face. Okay a lot of it ends up on my face. But I like to think no one can see that in the dark with only the light of the fire.
Like you , I've seen s'mores cupcakes all over the place lately. Maybe it's trendy , but I am jumping on the bandwagon here. I couldn't resist. Hello. S'mores cupcakes. My only regret here is waiting so long to make them.
But that being said , I may be a little biased but I think these are among the best ones out there.
First you start with a perfectly moist chocolate cupcake bottom. And they start with a box mix so it's super easy and cuts out a few ingredients and steps.
If famous bakeries can start with box mixes , I'm not ashamed to follow suit.
Then you spread a layer of melted milk chocolate on top of the cakes , sprinkle it with graham cracker crumbs , and let it cool. This is probably my favorite feature.
Acually , the marshmallow meringue swirled on top is my favorite.
Oh wait , the toasted marshmallows and chocolate covered graham crackers has to be my favorite.
Whatever , I just love it all.
Everyone fell in love with these wehn I made them for my niece's going away to college party. My niece. Is going to college. I'm not that old am I?
Unreal.
Just like these cupcakes. Totally unreal.
