S’mores Cupcakes

These easy S’mores cupcakes are a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of s’mores for summer. These cupcakes with chocolate and marshmallow are a summer favorite and really easy to make. 

These festive chocolate, marshmallow, and Graham cracker cupcakes are great at any time of year, but especially enjoyed in summer! Made with a boxed cake mix, these cute s’mores desserts are always a hit at potlucks and barbecues.

Hello Friends!

I’ve got another fun S’mores dessert recipe coming your way today. To me, nothing says summer like s’mores, and today’s s’mores treat comes in the form of a cupcake. If you have been here a while, you know that I have a few fun (and simple) s’mores recipes on the site (they are listed below). 

To be honest, sometimes I favor desserts with the flavor of s’mores rather than actual s’mores themselves. Does that make sense? It is nice to get the flavors in other forms.

Because today’s recipe is for a wonderfully easy s’mores cupcake recipe, it just makes life easier, and we are all about easy! You’re truly going to love these delicious s’mores cupcakes.

List of main ingredients:

Devil’s Food Cake Mix– Devil’s food works great, but you can also use chocolate or milk chocolate cake mix for this recipe. 

Graham Cracker Crumbs – This is for the Graham cracker base. I put Graham cracker crumbs in a ziplock bag and just crush with my hand. You can also buy ready-made Graham cracker crumbs too. 

Milk Chocolate – I suggest using milk chocolate bars with squares imprinted for ease of use. You can also top with milk chocolate chips if you prefer. 

Butter – Be sure to use real butter for this recipe.

Large eggs – I use Grade AA eggs
