Hello Friends!
I've got another fun Smores dessert recipe coming your way today. To me, nothing says summer like smores, and today's smores 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) smores recipes on the site (they are listed below).
To be honest, sometimes I favor desserts with the flavor of smores rather than actual smores themselves. Does that make sense? It is nice to get the flavors in other forms.
Because today’s recipe isfor a wonderful s' mores dessert from a cake mix, it just makes life easier and we are all about easy!
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 – I put graham cracker crumbs in a ziplock bag and just crush with my hand. You can also buy readymade 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.
