S’mores Cupcakes – Marshmallow topped ganache filled graham cracker cupcakes

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.

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!
