The Ultimate S'mores Cupcakes with Marshmallow Creme Inside
S'mores desserts seem to be well loved by everyone, so I made these S'mores Cupcakes for potluck today, and they were a hit!
There are a few steps and ingredients, but all in all, these cupcakes are not difficult to make. Start with a store-bought cake mix and the ingredients it takes to make it (usually eggs, oil, and water.) Then add marshmallow creme inside, top with frosting, crushed graham crackers, and toasted marshmallow bits.
You can, of course, make everything homemade if you prefer. The steps are still the same. Here is a delicious whipped ganache recipe you can use.
You can also make this recipe gluten free and dairy free by using cake mix, frosting, and other ingredients that are dairy and gluten free. Any of your favorite cake mixes and frostings will work well, but the frosting I chose for these is Miss Jones chocolate frosting, which is creamy, delicious, and has a hint of salt that works very well. I like it because it doesn't have that "fake" taste that some store-bought frostings can have.
These s'mores cupcakes are everything you love about the classic campfire treat, reimagined as a decadent dessert. Each cupcake is layered with rich chocolate, a hint of graham cracker crunch, and a gooey marshmallow creme center that melts in your mouth. Topped with toasted marshmallow and silky chocolate frosting, they're the ultimate indulgence for any sweet tooth.
They pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee, making them a versatile dessert for both kids and adults.
If you can't get enough of the s'mores flavor, don't miss my s'mores dessert nachos and s'mores cookies!
Whether you're hosting a summer bbq or just craving something nostalgic, these cupcakes bring the campfire magic without the smoke.
