S'more Cupcakes Recipe

S'more Cupcakes Recipe

S'mores are pretty much one of my favorite things about life. I even dedicated an entire summer of my life to perfecting and experimenting with the s'more! One of the creations born out of the summer of the s'more was the s'mores cupcake! What could be better than combining two of my greatest loves -cupcakes and s'mores. A graham cracker cake starts things off with a nice foundation, add a Hershey's chocolate in the middle to give it that authentic summertime s'more taste and top it off with some ooey gooey marshmallow buttercream frosting! Delicious! 

P.S. Do you know they call them s'mores? Because you always want some more!!
