S'mores Cupcakes

All kids love s'mores and what better way to have it than in a cupcake.  My boys have been begging me to make s'mores all summer.  I found a few different recipes online and I tweaked the recipe to make my own version of s'mores cupcakes.  My boys told me that these are the BEST cupcakes ever.  :-)

 

Ingredients for the Graham Cracker and Milk Chocolate Cupcakes:

1/2 cup all purpose flout
1-1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers (about 20 graham crackers)
2 Tsp baking powder
1 Tsp salt
1/2 cup  (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1 cup milk chocolate (rough chopped)

Ingredients for toppings:

Marshmallows (You can use either the big ones or the mini ones)
Hershey's chocolate bar (break into small pieces)
Graham crackers (cut into 4 triangles from each graham cracker)

Instructions:

Crushed the graham crackers using a food processor until very fine.  Set aside.  Instead of roughly chopped the milk chocolate, I used the food processor.  Just pulsed a few times and set aside.

Preheat the over to 350 degrees F.

Mix the flour, crushed graham crackers, baking powder and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Add vanilla.  Alternately add flour mixture and milk and beat until batter is almost smooth.  Fold in the milk chocolate.

Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling cups about 2/3 full.  Bake for 18-20  minutes or until tester inserted into the center comes out clean.  Remove from oven and cool.

Once the cupcakes are cool, turn your oven to broil. 

I used the big marshmallows and cut them into half.  Placed three halves of the marshmallows on top of each cupcake.  Put them in the oven for 30 seconds until the marshmallows turned brown.  (Watch it or else it will burn).  Remove from oven and let it cool.  Once it is cool, decorate each cupcake with a piece of graham cracker and Hershey's chocolate.  Enjoy!
