Decadent S’mores Cupcakes

My sister and I have a fun little tradition that we do every few weeks, one that we like to call “Bakapalooza”. We live only a few streets away (we go to the same college) and meet up at my kitchen to get in an intense baking session and overdose on sugar. After a good amount of planning and pinning possible recipes to our conjoined “Bakapalooza” Pinterest board, our dreams become delicious realizations amongst piles of dirty dishes and a house made toasty from the oven. I bring this up because a beautiful masterpiece stemmed from our last Bakapalooza that deserves to be shared!

And you know what!? I’m not sure if you guys are ready for a recipe like this.

I’m talking, a rich chocolate cupcake with a layer of delicious sweetened graham cracker to add texture. Swirls of perfectly fluffy and light chocolate frosting and a center filled with marshmallow fluff. One bite and you’re standing on soap boxes preaching about how this cupcake it food magic. Yumminess to the max.

While this recipe isn’t overly difficult or complicated, it is a bit more intensive. Trust me, you will reap the rewards of your labor in cupcake happiness! Your first step involves an easy cupcake to be the vessel of all your s’more toppings. I decided to go with a very simple, one-bowl chocolate recipe to simplify the process and avoid extra dirty dishes. After mixing together your graham cracker, butter, and sugar, press the mixture into a cupcake liner and layer on the chocolate batter 2/3rds of the way full. Bake until your cupcakes come out springy to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean! After letting the cupcakes cool completely, fill a piping bag with your marshmallow fluff and insert it into the cupcake, piping in about a generous 1/2 tablespoon. If you don’t have a piping bag (which can be found at most craft stores), no worries! Simply use a knife to cut out a small section out of the middle and use a tablespoon to measure in a portion. Then, pipe on the frosting, decorate with some mini marshmallows and chocolate, and dig in! I guarantee it will be one of the best cupcakes you’ve ever had!

In fact, I almost wish they weren’t as good. Not because I’m crazy or have nonfunctional tastebuds, but because I wish they didn’t disappear so fast! I live in a big house filled with girls and these were absolutely devoured within 2 hours. I only was able to snag one to taste test before they were gone forever. Sniffle.

A word of wisdom from this hypocrite herself: try your best to not get sick off all the components that go into this cupcake! I have one big problem whenever I bake that involves me eating my face off before I even have the final product in front of me. You know those little cutouts you need to make to stuff the cupcake with marshmallow fluff? Guess where all those scraps go… yup. And speaking of that marshmallow fluff, guess who cleaned out the remaining fluff out of the container… yup. And that frosting? Don’t even get me started. Guilty as charged. The one relief that came with all the cupcakes disappearing so fast is that I Wasn’t able to make myself completely sick of sugar by the end of the day!

If you’re looking for an insane dessert that will make everyone praise your cupcake-making prowess, this is the recipe for you! Grab a mixing bowl and napkin to wipe off all that frosting that will inevitably be on your face and get to baking!
