S’mores are one of my favorite things. Who doesn’t love melty chocolate with charred marshmallows that are soft and ooey-gooey?  Honestly, I can leave the graham crackers behind, but I suppose you have to have something to hold the chocolate and marshmallow. I’m alsways looking to indulge in s’mores in any way, shape or form, so I’m all about these Smores Cupcakes.

Smores Cupcakes made from Scratch

The cake for the Smores Cupcakes is a little coffee-ish, a little almond-y, and has that graham cracker feel. I am all kinds of in love with the Starbucks S’mores frappuccino, and this cupcake is the perfect match to it, for when you want a cakey treat.  Now, I am in no way condoning having these two things together, as it’s kind of sweetness overload.  But ya can,  because it’s your life.

SMores Cupcakes

This cupcake recipe is made from scratch, not a mix.  Yes, you too can bake from scratch. It’s not difficult, and you’ll find that once you get comfortable, there’s no stopping you.
