Smore's Cupcakes

These cupcakes are delicious! They're s'moretastic! Sorry I know that was lame. But really, they taste like a campfire s'more, but in cupcake form. Fluffy and chocolate-y, they're hard to resist. They even have this delicious little layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom, yum!  

You absolutely MUST try these cupcakes. They are so good, and the marshmallow frosting is SO delicious. AND bonus, it was really easy to make. Try it!

Here is what you need:

• 7 whole graham crackers, coarsely chopped
• 1 & ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¾ cup buttermilk

Then follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. Place about 1 tablespoon of chopped graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of each liner. Set aside and reserve the remaining crushed crackers.
3. Mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth. Alternately whisk in flour mixture and buttermilk until smooth.
4. Scoop batter into pan and bake 22-27 minutes until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched.
5. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire rack. (I actually don't have a cooling rack but they still came out wonderful!)

MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
