What to do with all the leftover s’mores fixings from the summer’s camping adventures? Make S’mores Cupcakes of course!

Chocolate filled graham cracker cupcakes with a dreamy marshmallow frosting…I’d like s’more please!

When my youngest son returned home from his last camping trip of the summer, along with him came a huge bag of leftover marshmallows, a whole box of graham crackers and 2 large sized chocolate bars. Of course, these items are all delicious on their own but since there was so much remaining I figured he hadn’t had his fill of campfire s’mores. So…I decided to use the remaining ingredients and make a batch of cupcakes. The holidays were right around the corner after all and I enjoy being in the kitchen baking.

These delicious treats were the result…

Chocolate is my sweet treat of choice. However, my favorite part of these s’mores cupcakes is actually the marshmallow frosting. It tastes like the inside filling of a Ding Dong, one my child hood favorites.

This frosting can easily be made with store bought marshmallow fluff. But if you have some marshmallows hanging out in your pantry without any plans, use them to make this frosting!

I finished these cupcakes with a drizzle of chocolate ganache, which I usually have hanging out in my fridge. You can find a recipe for ganache with my chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake.
