S'mores Cupcakes

  • Total time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (about 20 full-sheet graham crackers)
  • 12 Tbsp Melted Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • Pinch Kosher Salt
  • Devil's Food Cake Mix, plus ingredients called for on box
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 24 Marshmallows

Directions

  • 1)

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.

  • 2)

    Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in small bowl. Press about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each cupcake liner to make mini crusts.

  • 3)

    Prepare cake mix according to box instructions and divide batter between liners and bake for a couple minutes less than the box instructs, about 16 minutes.

  • 4)

    While the cupcakes are baking, make a quick ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium, heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips, whisking constantly until smooth.

  • 5)

    When cupcakes are almost done baking, pull them out and spoon about a tablespoon of ganache onto each cupcake, then top each with a marshmallow. (If it feels unwieldy, place the marshmallow on its side.) Return trays to oven and bake—watching closely!—until marshmallows are golden and very soft, 4 to 5 minutes more.
