Equipment

  • 1 cupcake pan lined with paper liners
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 kitchen torch for toasting marshmallows

Ingredients
  

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Marshmallow Frosting

  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat marshmallow fluff, butter, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Once cupcakes are cooled, pipe or spread marshmallow frosting on top of each cupcake.
  • Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the frosting until lightly browned. Be cautious not to burn the marshmallow.
  • Enjoy these cupcakes immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
  • For freshness, store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or heat as it may melt the frosting.
