I love S’mores !! So when I made S’mores Cupcakes, I knew I would have at least 2 cupcakes and I did !!! If you haven’t already tried making S’mores cupcakes, I highly suggest you do it because it’s delicious. I shared this cupcake with my friends and they are all back for a second cupcake, it was so good!

If you are looking for a chocolate cake from scratch, here’s my favorite recipe! Milk chocolate cake.

Instead of actual marshmallows, you can use marshmallow filling to decorate your cupcakes. It’s easier and no grilling required.

You can decorate Smores’ cupcakes with ganache for that extra flavor of chocolate! Yum!

Need a cold dessert fix? Decorate the marshmallow with your favorite flavor of ice cream!

Before starting the mixing process, make sure the oven is preheated to 350 ° F, and line the muffin tray with cupcake liners.
