While making homemade S’Mores cupcakes takes a bit more work than buying a boxed mix, the result is definitely worth it. A bit of prep work for your batter and frosting makes this process simple and the results delicious.

To make a nice light and fluffy cupcake, you will want to sift together your dry ingredients.  This helps remove lumps and break up the ingredients to provide the best texture. The sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are all easy to sift together into a large bowl. Next, you’ll add eggs, milk, and oil, and beat your batter for 2 minutes in a stand mixer or a hand mixer.

The next step is so fun to do! Grab a baggie and add your Graham crackers to it. Pound until they are crumbs. Usually, one sleeve of crackers is perfect. You could also buy Graham cracker crumbs to use if you want to skip this step.  You’ll add a spoon of the crumbs to the bottom of your cupcake liner, then your cake batter, and finally, the marshmallows will be stuck down into the cupcakes. This creates a wonderful blend that will melt in your mouth.

While your cupcakes are cooking, you’ll want to create your frosting. A stand mixer really helps to blend the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk until smooth and creamy. Once the cupcakes have cooled, you can easily frost them, adding extra Graham cracker crumbs, chocolate squares, and even a couple of marshmallows.
