The S'mores Cupcake:
For the S’mores cupcake, we’ll use a chocolate box cake mix to save time. You can download the recipe from the link above for your convenience.
The Cupcake:
1 Chocolate box cake mix
1 Pack of chocolate instant pudding
1 Box of graham crackers
1 Bag of jumbo marshmallows
*Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box, but include the following steps before placing the pan into the oven:
1) Break each piece of graham cracker in half, then in half again, and one more time (this
should yield 8 pieces in total per 1 original graham cracker)
2) Place 4 piece of the broken up graham crackers in each cupcake liner (in a box shape)
3) Put 1 jumbo marshmallow inside each graham cracker box
4) Pour cupcake batter over the marshmallow and graham cracker until the liner is almost full
*Now they’re ready to bake!
The Frosting:
*For the S’mores, I use a chocolate fudge cream cheese frosting.
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
½ Cup of butter, softened
2 ½ Cups of confectioner’s sugar
1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
4-6oz Fudge sauce
1-2 Teaspoons of cocoa powder
*Depending on the consistency, you may want to chill the icing before frosting the cupcakes
The Decoration:
1) Pipe the icing onto the cupcakes in any style you wish
2) Crush up a few graham crackers (you’re looking for a consistency with a few chunky pieces)
3) Sprinkle graham crackers over the top of the frosted cupcakes
4) Take a little of the fudge syrup and drizzle it over the cupcakes (optional)
