2/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
3/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

48 miniature marshmallows
24 toothpicks
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon lemon-yellow gel food color

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; set aside. In small bowl, mix hot water and cocoa until dissolved; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat shortening with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and cocoa mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
  • Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each with about 3 tablespoons batter or until about two-thirds full.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line 15x10-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Place unwrapped cinnamon and butterscotch candies in freezer plastic bag; with hammer or meat mallet, finely crush candies. Pour crushed candies into pan; spread in thin layer. Bake at 350°F 6 to 8 minutes or until completely melted. Cool completely before handling.
  • Spoon marshmallow creme into large microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 15 to 20 seconds to soften. Add butter; beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until smooth. Tint frosting with yellow food color. Frost cupcakes.
  • On each cupcake, arrange 5 pretzel pieces to look like logs of campfire. Break cooled sheets of melted candies into pointed shards. Insert candy pieces in tops of cupcakes around pretzels to look like flames.
  • Place 2 marshmallows on one end of each toothpick. Insert other end of toothpick into each cupcake.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 large egg whites, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 graham cracker sheets, broken into 24 pieces
One 4-ounce bar semisweet chocolate, broken into 24 shards

Steps:

  • For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar until well combined. Press a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and bake until golden and just set, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the cupcakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the buttermilk, water and oil and whisk to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Let cool in the tins on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the tins and allow to cool completely.
  • For the marshmallow frosting: Combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heatproof mixing bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are warm and smooth to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on low speed, gradually increasing to medium and then finally up to high. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.
  • Spread the frosting on the cupcakes. With a handheld pastry torch, lightly brown the frosting. Decorate each cupcake with a graham cracker piece and a shard of chocolate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cupcakes. For the best flavor, use fresh graham cracker crumbs, marshmallows, and chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from being too dense.
  • Don't overcook the cupcakes. Overcooked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a generous amount of frosting. Don't be shy! The more frosting, the better.
  • Top the cupcakes with a toasted marshmallow. This will give them that classic campfire s'more flavor.

Conclusion:

Campfire S'more Cupcakes are a fun and easy dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They're a great way to use up leftover graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows, and they're always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
