S'mores and Mores

Sorry to my followers for the lack of new cupcakes! I have been busy at work and with family events. Get ready for a lot of new cupcakes coming this week! Every summer my family and I make s'mores in our backyard at our bonfire. A few weeks ago, my mom bought all the supplies for s'mores but unfortunately random Michigan weather led to rain. We ended up staying in all night playing board games and watching movies. Why leave perfectly good graham crackers and marshmallows to just sit when they can be made into a cupcake?!? I made a s'more cupcake to enjoy with our family game night. This treat is perfect for a rainy day or even the winter when a bonfire just isn't an option, especially in Michigan.

S'mores and Mores

Cupcake Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

¾ teaspoons baking soda

¾ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

½ cup warm water

¼ cup milk

¼ cup vegetable oil

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 regular-sized muffin pan with paper liners or spray each cup with cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, beat together the egg, water, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat until combined.

Pour the batter into the muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frosting Ingredients

1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract

2/3 cup of milk

32 marshmallows

3/4 cup of unsalted butter, COLD

Topping

Graham crackers (4-6)

Hershey's Chocolate bar

Put all of the marshmallows and milk in a sauce pan on low heat. Stir occasionally until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it stand until it becomes room temperature. Using a electric beater, mix the butter and vanilla into the marshmallow mixture until well blended. Mine came out in a liquid form so I put it in the fridge for an hour and them remixed it with the electric mixer.

Coat each cupcake with the marshmallow frosting. Crush at least 4 of the graham crackers and dip each frosting covered cupcake into the graham cracker crumble. Then top it off with a single piece of Hershey's chocolate. Enjoy!
