S’Mores Cupcakes

Who likes s’mores? Everyone? Just as I suspected. What about cupcakes? Lots of hands in the air for that one too? Not surprising. In light of the results of that in-depth survey, I give you S’mores Cupcakes!

These cupcakes are super simple to make. It only took me about an hour to bake the cupcakes, make the icing, and put them all together, and they don’t require any kind of special skill or equipment. Cupcakes are  my go-to when I need a dessert to share because they are already portioned out and ready to go, and the summery s’more flavor of these makes them great to take to cook-outs and pool parties!

And in case you needed more convincing, the marshmallow frosting on these babies is amazing. A-MAZ-ING. It’s like eating a soft, sweet cloud. I borrowed the recipe from this post from The Gracious Wife. She has so many more scrumptious looking recipes, check her out!

S’Mores Cupcakes
Prep Time: 1 hour
Makes 2 dozen

24 chocolate cupcakes, prepared from your favorite cake mix or recipe
2 sticks of butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 7oz containers marshmallow fluff
3 graham cracker sheets

Bake chocolate cupcakes according to your favorite recipe or cake mix and let them cool. For the frosting, beat together the butter and vanilla, then gradually add in the sugar until combined into a very thick, lumpy looking frosting. Then beat in the marshmallow fluff, one container at a time. Transfer the frosting to an icing bag and pipe onto the cupcakes using any large tip you want. Be prepared to squeeze hard, this stuff is thick and sticky! Break the graham crackers along all the perforated lines, then break each small rectangle in half. Top each cupcake with a chunk of graham cracker and cool until the icing is set. Store in the refrigerator.

    • I told my husband I would love to try that if I had a pastry torch. I don’t have one…maybe he’ll get the hint before Christmas? 🙂

    • Good question. I haven’t tried it but I assume you could refrigerate and then let it soften at room temp whenever you are ready to use it.

  1. These look great! The marshmallow frosting looks delicious! I just saw a display at the grocery store for smores “ingredients” and I’ve been craving them ever since.

  2. Could you scorch the frosting at the last minute to create the toasted marshmallow look, and then put in the graham cracker? Or would it just melt because of the butter in the frosting?
