Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 cup graham crackers crushed
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

Chocolate Cupcakes

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Ganache

  • 3 ½ ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • ¾ cup heavy cream

Topping

  • Marshmallow Fluff

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each cupcake liner, pressing down gently to form a crust.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk, warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until blended.
  • Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Pour chocolate cupcake batter over the graham cracker crust in each liner, filling about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers.
  • Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before piping.
  • Once cupcakes are cooled, pipe a layer of chocolate ganache on top of each cupcake.
  • Spoon a dollop of marshmallow fluff on top of the ganache.
  • Lightly toast the marshmallow fluff with a kitchen torch or under a broiler (watch closely to avoid burning).
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious s'mores cupcakes!
