Disclaimer: I don't think these taste like S'mores; I think they could be better described as chocolate chip cupcakes. They're so good though...my dad came over and ate 5 LOL! So while I was initially disappointed, by the time I had devoured them all, I realized that these were amazing nonetheless.
Ingredients
· ½ cups Butter, Softened
· 1 cup Granulated Sugar
· 3 whole Eggs
· 1 cup All-purpose Flour
· 1-½ cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (finely Crushed)
· 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
· 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
· ¼ teaspoons Salt
· 1 cup Milk
· 1 bag Mini Milk Chocolate Chips (12 Oz Bag)
· 1-¾ cup Granulated Sugar
· ⅛ teaspoons Salt
· ½ cups Water
· 3 whole Egg Whites
· 12 whole Marshmallows Cut Up
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Cupcakes
1. Cream butter and 1 cup sugar
2. Add whole eggs, beating in one at a time
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
4. Alternate adding sifted dry ingredients and milk to butter/sugar mixture – starting and ending with dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Stir in chocolate chips
6. Divide batter into cupcake tins lined with paper liners (or greased and floured) – makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick test comes out just barely clean (a few crumbs is desirable – just not wet)
Once cupcakes have cooled, make frosting
Toasted Marshmallow Frosting
1. Cook 1 3/4 cups sugar, 1/8 tsp salt, and water to firm ball stage (245-250 degrees F)
2. While the above is cooking, beat 3 egg whites until stiff in mixer
3. With mixer running, pour in sugar syrup in a thin, steady stream
4. Drop in marshmallow halves and beat till melted and incorporated.
5. Frost cupcakes as desired
6. Brown the frosting as desired with a kitchen torch (or use the broiler on high – but watch very, very carefully!) Be extra careful with the torch if you used paper liners!
