S'more Cupcakes :)

So I have been waiting to try this recipe I found from nibbledish.com and I finally decided to make it today.  I think that it turned out pretty tastey.  I didn't especially like the marshmallow frosting and it was super sticky and hard to work with, so I am not going to put that recipe up.

Ingredients for cupcakes:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar  
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt 
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
 Directions:
  1. Combine 1 cup of  the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Scoop a tablespoon into each cupcake paper, pressing down to cover the bottom. Set aside.
  2. Beat 1/2 cup of butter on high speed until soft, about 30 seconds. Add in brown sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beat for 30 seconds after each . Set aside.
  4. Mix together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  5.  Add milk, vanilla,  and flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. Beat to combine.
  6. Fill cupcake cups with cake batter (they should be 2/3 - 3/4 full).
  7. Place muffin tins on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for approximately 18-20  minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove cupcakes and let it cool down for 20 - 30 minutes.
  9. After the cupcakes have cooled, use a knife and cut a hole into the cupcakes (shaped like a cone). Fill with chocolate fudge filling .
  10. You might want to keep the top of the cupcake hold to over the fudge so the  frosting doesn't sink in. Mine turned out looking like little mountains, but I think that's better than it sinking in.
Ingredients for fudge fillng:
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons milk
Directions:
In a double boiler, mix all ingredients together until fully combined.
cool and fill each cupcake with a spoonful of fudge
use the extra as decoration on top of the cupcake
