Yep I know.
I warned you I’m obsessed.
So instead of working out, I made you cupcakes.
You’re welcome
And once again, a chocolate cupcake.
I think I probably have at least 5 chocolate based cupcakes on this blog, but I can’t help it.
I’m a complete chocoholic.
And not just that.
I’m married to the ultimate chocoholic.
You ask him what he wants for dessert his answer will be CHOCOLATE every time! Nothing else.
But these are not just your plain chocolate cupcakes.
Nah. It all starts with a layer of butter sugary crushed graham crackers, then we top that with chocolate chip chocolate batter and then we frost it with creamy marshmallow cream cheese frosting. Why cream cheese? Because I love cream cheese frostings, that’s why
I love the texture and they are not overly sweet, just oh-so-good!
These cupcakes are even better the next day (and easier to eat too!) Just store in airtight container and you are good to go!
Here’s the recipe:
S’mores Cupcakes

Directions:
- Put paper liners in a cupcake pan.
- In a bowl combine all the ingredients together and stir until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
