S’mores cupcakes are a favorite campfire treat turned cupcake! Moist chocolate cake is topped with marshmallow frosting and graham cracker crumbs. Get crazy and add some mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and syrup!
Sorry, guys – I was away longer than I’d planned to be!
When I came back from vacation I was essentially punched in the face with a bunch of responsibilities that I didn’t anticipate and it’s taken me until now to get my life back in order.
But now that I do have things back in order, there’s something very important I have to share with you. You need to stop what you’re doing, put down your drink, and pay attention.
S’MORES CUPCAKES. That’s right. S’mores in cupcake form.
What we have here is a chocolate avocado cupcake, egg white marshmallow frosting, and a pile of graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and chocolate syrup.
BAM. I should mention these aren’t particularly diet-friendly. You can always leave off the toppings, but what’s the fun in that? Would you ever make s’mores over a campfire and say to yourself, “I’m going to use half a marshmallow and only a little chocolate”? Beach, please.
For the sake of argument, I suppose you could only top it with graham cracker crumbs, like this:
Or maybe you could add some mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Or you could just add some graham cracker crumbs and a decent drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Or you could just be the person I know you can be and pile it all on in such a way that you’re testing the laws of physics.
