I love s’mores so much, but I hate mosquitos, so I say, Screw the Campfire, I’m Making S’mores Cupcakes!

I can stay inside where it’s nice and non-mosquito-ey–and still enjoy one of my favorite summertime treats.

Screw the Campfire, I’m Making S’mores Cupcakes

Look, I’m not saying that I give up on making some s’mores around the campfire if the weather is perfect, there’s no mosquitos, and there’s like a reason to be outside, like we’re camping, or whatever.

But why would I make a fire in the fire pit, at home, so that I could, by myself, stand out in the million degree Texas heat and make a freaking s’more when I could just as easily make S’mores Cupcakes and not die of West Nile Virus.

Just sayin’.

I’m not paranoid about West Nile or anything, let’s be clear.

It’s about more than that.

I want to make S’mores that don’t require a handy bucket of water or sand nearby.

That’s all.

And, when making S’mores Cupcakes is so easy–why not?!

I mean, for real, I just start with my super-favorite all-time-easy cupcakes, then pop a hole in them.

Hint: give a little twist and that top will come right out.

Once you’ve popped the top on all of your cupcakes, I go with a straight-up melted chocolate drizzle inside.

Now, you could do something fancier and add some cream, make it a ganache, but I just want chocolate.

Straight, lovely chocolate.

Normally, I would have said to save your little cupcake tops for putting them back onto your cupcakes…but it turns out that mini-marshmallows are the same size as the hole…

So, how could I not plug-up that S’mores Cupcake with a marshmallow?!

Frosting is one of those recipes that I just haven’t perfected yet (I’m working on it though, so watch out), so I just used my favorite vanilla canned frosting.

It’s enough like marshmallow that it doesn’t matter.

And you just need enough to be a platform for the chocolate to sit on.

Again, I went with just plain, straight-up melted chocolate chips.

No reason to mess with perfection…

It doesn’t really matter how messy this part is, because, at this point, you’re just making a ridiculous amount of silliness.

So, I slathered-on the chocolate, again, not a ton is necessary, just enough to hold some marshmallows on.

And that, right there, is the question: how many marshmallows can you mush onto a cupcake top?

I think I got 14 at the most. But more could be done…

Those marshmallows can’t stay the way they are, though.

Fire must be applied.

Matches don’t really work, by the way–I just thought that would be funny.

You need a little baking torch, or one of those fire starter things. I like my little baking torch, though.

Once the marshmallows are toasted, it’s jam-a-piece-of-graham-cracker-on-top time.

Easy, don’t push it in hard…gently. LOL!

And that’s it!

Just a simple, fun S’mores Cupcake.

That helps me avoid mosquitos.

Win!
