Hello Friends!
I've got another fun Smores dessert recipe coming your way today. To me, nothing says summer like smores, and today's smores treat comes in the form of a cupcake. If you have been here a while, you know that I have a few fun (and simple) smores recipes on the site (they are listed below).
To be honest, sometimes I favor desserts with the flavor of smores rather than actual smores themselves. Does that make sense? It is nice to get the flavors in other forms.

Devil's Food Cake Mix– Devil's food works great, but you can also use chocolate or milk chocolate cake mix for this recipe.
Graham Cracker Crumbs – I put graham cracker crumbs in a ziplock bag and just crush with my hand. You can also buy readymade graham cracker crumbs too.
Milk Chocolate – I suggest using milk chocolate bars with squares imprinted for ease of use. You can also top with milk chocolate chips if you prefer.
Butter - Be sure to use real butter for this recipe.
Eggs - I use Grade AA eggs

There are a few things to help save time:
- Keep crushed graham crackers in your pantry in a sealed container. You can make them yourself by crushing the crackers. These are so great for recipes and to top on ice cream and other desserts.
- Use cupcake liners to save time on clean up.
- Make the frosting the day before and keep in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for frosting the cupcakes.
