This S'mores Cupcake recipe gives you such decadently rich, yet easy to make s'mores cupcakes- they will be a hit at your next gathering! Or make them just for your family, I promise they won't be disappointed!
Simple use of a box mix for the cake part of the cupcake. Your favorite chocolate cake mix is fine. Any light chocolaty cake is fine (I did try using a brownie mix during testing and it didn't work as well).

- Step 2: In a large bowl prepare the cake mix per box mix instructions.
- Step 3: Spoon the cake mix evenly over the top of the graham crackers and bake.
- Step 4: Mix the marshmallow fluff, vanilla, powdered sugar to make the frosting. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Step 5: After the cupcakes have cooled completely on a wire rack frost the top of each cupcake then sit a couple of mini marshmallows and 2 pieces of mini Hersheys Chocolate.
Hint: Remove the cupcakes from the pan first before you start to frost so that you don't mess up the frosting when trying to remove them.
Substitutions and Variations
- Toasted Marshmallows - use the bigger marshmallows and toast them before adding to the top of a cupcake.
- Chocolate Sauce - For extra decadence you could drizzle chocolate sauce over the frosting too.
- Homemade Cake - if you prefer to make your own cake mix instead of using a prefab cake that is fine. You obviously know what you're doing 😉

S'mores Cupcake Recipe
These decadent cupcakes have a firm crust made of graham crackers with a soft chocolaty cake, topped with a marshmallow gooey icing. These taste so much like the real thing you will think you're out camping!
Ingredients
Crust
- 1-¼ Cups Graham Cracker crumbs
- ¼ Cup Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
Cupcakes
- 1 (16oz) Box Chocolate cake mix
- 3 Eggs
- 1-¼ Cups Water
- ⅓ Cup Vegetable Oil
Frosting
- 1-½ Cups Butter, softened
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 (7oz) Jars Marshmallow Creme
Decorations
- 8 Hershey Chocolate Bars, mini
- 48 Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter then divide evenly, in the bottom of baking cups, pressing down to compact with the back of a spoon.
- Combine the cake ingredients as per the box instructions. Divide evenly between the baking cups filling until about ¾ full. Bake in the oven for time instructed on the box - insert a toothpick to check that they have cooked enough. The toothpick needs to come out clean.
- Remove all the cupcakes from the pan onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl combine the frosting ingredients except the marshmallow creme. Beat for about 2 minutes, then slowly add the marshmallow creme and continue beating until completely combined.
- Frost and decorate cupcakes as desired.
Notes
These cupcakes can be decorated in any way, the chocolate/marshmallow theme is perfect and adds some texture to the cupcake, but this is completely flexible.
