My First Go At S'Mores Cupcakes

this week i was inspired by our recent camping trip on memorial day weekend. the one thing i can not get enough of while camping are...s'mores! i am embarrassed to say i had at least 2 s'mores each night using different chocolate bars such as kit kat, chocolate almond and my personal favorite peanut butter cups! with that being said, since being home i have had a craving for s'more s'mores! (haha!) we have all seen chocolate graham marshmallow topped cupcakes, but i decided to make a 'bbb' version...

-s'more campcake-

i gathered the 3 main ingredients to make a classic s'more, but cupcake style. graham crackers mixed with butter, milk chocolate cake and marshmallow meringue. can we say delish?!

i started by filling the cupcake holders with graham cracker crumbs, to be then topped with the milk chocolate cake batter.

i topped the cupcakes with marshmallow meringue. by the way, making meringue is a huge accomplishment and i end up eating half of it before using it! i am still learning and practicing (my meringue blog post coming soon).

i love the fact that i was inspired to create something based on an event with my family and i look forward to creating more and more based on the things we experience. ...stay tuned....

Eating the left over meringue is my fav!
