S’mores Cupcakes

Hello friends!

Another lovely Friday is upon us, and this one is even attached to a long weekend!

Woo for long weekends!

At first I thought I’d make adorable red, white, and blue cake in jars to share with you, in case you needed a last-minute dessert for Memorial Day Weekend, but naturally….

I’m out of both red and blue food coloring.

Mwop mwop.

S'mores Cupcakes - On Sugar Mountain

Normally I’m on top of those kind of things but hey – everyone has one of those days, and this humidity has made me a tad weird.

So instead I whipped you up these S’mores Cupcakes!

I’ve been dying to try out my new chocolate cake recipe, and stuffing cupcakes with marshmallow fluff sounded absolutely logical in my heat-wave-mania.

Oh and graham cracker frosting – I now want to make every type of cheesecake into a cupcake so that I can top it with this.

Though the tops of these cupcakes were just a smidge sticky, the cake is absolutely decadent.

Rich, fudgey, moist yet light – it’s like my favorite devil’s food cake in a cupcake!

Then that cupcake is transformed into s’mores!

The heat makes me easily excited about s’mores.

One of my favorite lines from a movie, ever, comes from The Sandlot. No matter how many times I see the scene with the kids camping out and making s’mores, I still crack up.

“You want s’mores?”

“S’more of what?”

(gapes) “You’re killing me smalls!”

Every. Time. Heehee.

I definitely just acted that out as I wrote it. Don’t tell anyone.

I may be turning delirious – that AC unit needs to be installed into the window as soon as possible. Stay cool this weekend my friends and I’ll see you on Monday!

Happy Baking!
