S’more deliciousness in a Cupcake form. A soft and fluffy Graham cracker cupcake filled with chocolate ganache and topped with a soft fluffy decadent marshmallow frosting.

chocolate ganache filled graham cracker cupcake topped with homemade marshmallow frosting - s'mores cupcakes

I have a base vanilla cupcake recipe I like to use for everything. When I decided to make S’more cupcakes I thought about doing a chocolate cupcake then decided to try something unique – a graham cracker cupcake!

I ground up graham crackers and added them to the cupcake – I wasn’t sure it would work but dang they turned out amazing!

The rest was easy – I knew I wanted to use Marshmallow frosting so that left the filling for the chocolate portion of this dessert. I make Ganache all the time so that was an easy choice for the filling.

You can use a cupcake corer or I just use a large frosting tip – press down into the cupcake, twist and pull back out! Then fill with soft chocolate ganache.

So the key to filling a cupcake with ganache is to do a 1.5 to 1 ratio (vs then normal 2:1 ratio I typically do) – This will make it so it doesn’t set too firm, but soft, so you can bite into it easily but it’s still rich!  

And you can go with either the Marshmallow frosting or Marshmallow fluff – both work just fine! The kids ate up the ENTIRE BATCH in like a day – they want CRAZY over these!

Just take me to the S’mores Cupcake Recipe already!

    Hi Ashlee, I love your recipes and they are easy to execute is saying something. I can or have only been a box cake mix person, but you have changed that. I was wondering do you have a recipe or can you do a recipe for a Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake? I fell in love with the Cheesecake Factory’s and would love to make one at home. It looks very complicated, I do not know if you bake these 2 cakes together or simply separate and then put together after. Which is what I was thinking. Please help, and Thank you!

      I’d bake a 2 layer red velvet cake (8 or 9 inches) then bake a crustless 8 or 9 inch cheesecake to match – trim/level everything and stack! then frost and your ready to go!

    Uhm… this is only the recipe for a graham cracker cupcake. Very disappointed. You didn’t explain how you baked the chocolate ganache in the cupcake nor what marshmallow topping you used. You didn’t say if you broiled the the marshmallow topping or used a kitchen torch. There is not a recipe for the chocolate ganache or the marshmallow topping. So all in all, your recipe should read Graham Cracker Cupcake Recipe. It was very misleading. And I was excited because I love all things S’mores and I was looking for a recipe that yours claims to be, but is not.

      totally! I’d just put them in a cupcake container or cake plate with a lid to keep the cupcake from drying out at all.

    Wow do these look good! I think I have to make these this weekend… I’m curious about the mayo, what does it do?

      mayo is made from eggs and oil, so it’s like using more eggs and oil in the recipe, but brings a different moistness level.

    Hey there! The recipe looks awesome, but I was wondering, does the marshmallow topping fall? I was going to make them for a baby shower, and was planning making them the night before. Will the topping fall, or loose shape, over night, not being refrigerated?

    Reply
    • Ashlee Marie

      January 6, 2020 at 11:43 am

      once the marshmallow topping sets it doesn’t fall. They’ll last a few days okay, I put them in a cupcake container on the counter.

    This cupcake is AWESOME and tastes just like a S’more. Thank you so much for making this so easy as I am just beginning to make cakes from scratch instead of the box. There are so many recipes that call for the cake to be chocolate which is good but this is AMAZING!!! When I saw this one I was sooooo happy!!! It is beyond delicious and very soft!! Again many thanks because this one “takes the cake”!!

      I’m so glad you like it! and yes I felt it was more s’more like to keep the chocolate as a soft filling vs the cupcake

    These are the best best BEST cupcakes in the world!!! I’m telling you! They require just a little extra work but they’re so worth it!!! Give them a try. I got my little torch on amazon. It was cheap. I love having one. I made these for a large gathering and everyone begged me for the recipe!

    In the ingredients, you call for 2 1/3 tsp of baking powder. Is that correct? I’ve never seen a measuring spoon set that has thirds.

      Yes they are not very common, you can use a heaping 1/4 teaspoon and it will be very close

    hi! can i replace the butter with oil? and what would i do to convert it?

      I would suggest just using butter but if you use oil use 3/4 the amount.

    Absolutely delicious!! The cupcakes are moist and tender and taste just like a graham cracker. The ganache is rich and the marshmellow creme is to die for! Only change I would make is decrease cinnamon to 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tsp as it was quite strong. Thanks for sharing!!
