Chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers...oh my!

What kid doesn't love roasting marshmallows over a campfire to make ooey-gooey s'mores? I fondly remember camping with my family and every night sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows that we'd top with classic mini chocolate bars. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Well, we can't go camping every night, but we can enjoy that same taste right in our own homes...with cupcakes! These s'mores cupcakes combine chocolate, marshmallows, and even graham crackers to give you the flavor of this gourmet dessert... without all the smoke. Let's get to the cupcakes!

How To Make S'mores Cupcakes

Start with the graham crackers

You will need a chocolate cake mix, homemade graham cracker crust mix, and 4 chocolate Hershey bars.

Graham Cracker Crust

1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons room temperature butter

You can make the can buy the graham cracker crumbs already crushed or take actual crackers and chop them in a food processor. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly. Take about 1 T of graham cracker mix and press it firmly into the bottom cupcake liners. Break up Hershey's bar into squares. You should have 48 squares (enough for 24 cupcakes). Place one square in each cupcake tin on top of the graham cracker. Bake in a preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven.

Make your cake mix. Go easy on yourself and use a chocolate cake mix from a box. Add the mix on top of the melted chocolate. Place one more piece of the Hershey's chocolate bar on top of each cupcake and bake according to box instructions. Let cool.

NOTE - When we are making S'mores for an adult bonfire or other party, we often use gourmet chocolate such as Ghirardelli, Guittard, etc. instead of the standard Hershey bars.
