I'm always looking for something new to try. These were pretty tasty. The kids loved them! I think next time I will use a different frosting though. The one I have posted was a bit too sweet for me. Perhaps a 7 minute frosting would be much better? The cupcakes themselves were very moist. The texture is similar to a bran muffin. Try them and let me know what you think. Enjoy!------------------------Graham Cracker Cupcakes:
Makes: 16
1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup of flour
2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 cup of butter, softened
3/4 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3/4 cup of milk
In a small bowl combine the crumbs, flour and baking powder; set aside. Beat the butter and the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture with milk, beating well after each addition. Divide the batter into two muffin tins lined with 16 cupcake liners total. Bake at 350F degrees for 22-25 minutes or until done. Cool in pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack. Frost with S'mores cupcake frosting then sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and top with a chocolate square.
S'mores Cupcake Frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter, softened
2 cups Confectioners Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
7 ounce jar Marshmallow creme
Cream the butter on high until it's light and fluffy. Add the confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until fluffy each time. Beat in the vanilla until incorporated. Then dump in the Fluff and mix it up 'til it's all creamy. Transfer to pastry bag (if desired) and pipe onto cupcakes! (You can also cut the corner off a Ziploc bag and use that instead.)
