S'mores Cupcakes

I've been wanting to make some of these....and I'm glad I did. They were AMAZING. I say were, because we ate them all. mmmm:)

S'mores Cupcakes:

Graham cracker crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 20 squares)

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 standard muffin tins with cupcake liners; set aside.

2. Place graham cracker crumbs ( I used a food processor to make mine into fine crumbs), remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl; stir until well combined.

3. Place 1 tablespoon graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Use the bottom of a small glass to pack crumbs into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Reserve remaining graham cracker mixture for topping.

4. Place 1 teaspoons chocolate in each muffin cup. Transfer muffin tins to oven and bake until the edges of the graham cracker mixture is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and fill each muffin cup three-quarters full with cake batter.

Marshmallow Buttercream Icing:

2 sticks of butter, room temperature
1 lb. (2 cups) confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
16 oz. tub of marshmallow cream

Cream the butter on high until it's light and fluffy. Add the confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until fluffy each time. Beat in the vanilla until incorporated. Then dump in the Fluff and mix it up 'til it's all creamy. Transfer to pastry bag (if desired) and pipe onto cupcakes!

Top the cupcake with graham cracker crumbs and a piece of chocolate:)
