S'mores Cupcakes = YUMMY!


So Jamie made a similar cupcake for Kelly's birthday and I have been obsessed ever since! This weekend, my parents and sisters family are coming to town. For Valentine's Day, I thought I'd bake up some yummy cupcakes to celebrate.

S'mores Cupcakes

Cupcakes
1/2 cup all-pupose flour
1 1/2 cups finesly crushed graham crackers (about 20 grahams)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1 cup chocolate chips

Frosting
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix flour, crushed graham crackers, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk and beat until batter is almost smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Spoon batter into cupcake papers filling cups about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. To make the frosting: combine egg whites and sugar in the top of a double boiler. Whisk constantly over medium-high heat until mixtures reaches 160 degrees, about 5 minutes. Pour egg white mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat on high for 6 minutes or until room temperature. Add vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon at a time until desired flavor. 6. Frost cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with grated milk chocolate or graham cracker crumbs.
