S'mores Cupcakes

I'll admit it, I have never had s'mores before, lately though I've been really wanting to try them. Instead of making traditional s'mores though I opted for the cupcake version. I'm really glad I did. I found this recipe at Bakerella and decided to try it out. I did a couple things differently (she puts a ganache on the cupcakes whereas I thought they were great without and I did not put the topping in the centre of the cupcakes) but they turned out really good. I also made them into large and small cupcakes, I did 7 large ones and 6 mini ones but I think it would make about a dozen large size cupcakes. They are definately worth a try!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I used a little less and they were very chocolately)
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 cup oil
• marshmallows cut in half

Topping

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Divide equally into two bowls.

Stir cocoa into one flour bowl, graham cracker crumbs into the other.

Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1/4 cup of oil to each bowl. Stir to combine.

Topping: combine ingredients until crumbly.

Assemble cupcakes in lined muffin tin. First put some of the graham cracker crumb batter in the bottom of the tins, add half a masrhmallow then the some chocolate batter and then sprinkle some topping on. Bake 15-20 minutes (until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.).
