Ingredients
  

Cupcake Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup salted butter
  • 0.75 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.67 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Topping Ingredients
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 2 Hershey's chocolate bars

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, whisk together the butter and sugar vigorously until the ingredients are smooth and creamy.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and milk until the ingredients are homogenous.
  4. Add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, and flour to the wet ingredients and whisk the mixture together until no clumps of dry ingredients remain in the batter.
  5. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner up with cupcake batter.
  6. Bake the cupcakes for 19 minutes. After baking, top each cupcake with a large marshmallow and broil the cupcakes on high for 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and top each one with a piece of Hershey's chocolate.
  8. Serve and enjoy your warm S'mores Cupcakes!

Notes

For an extra graham cracker crunch, consider adding a thin graham cracker crust to the bottom of each liner before adding batter. Simply combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar, press into the liners, bake for 5 minutes, then cool and proceed with the recipe.
