Stress Relief: S'mores Cupcakes

The last day of school with my kids is Thursday! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone- I am sure going to miss this class, a lot!

I came home from school just felt overwhelmed with school stuff, dance stuff (recital is SATURDAY!), and just around the house things.  The only thing that seemed to make sense was to bake! Baking and eating chocolate is the perfect recipe to reduce stress! I looked at my Recipes to Try Board and looked for recipes that we had ingredients for, so Marshmallow Filled S'mores Cupcakes it was.  The recipe came from Sally's Baking Addiction.

I whipped up some chocolate cupcakes. I divided my batter between 12 cupcake tins only and I started with the wet ingredients, then mixed the dry in.

After the cupcakes were baked and started to cool, I whipped up the marshmallow filling. It was incredibly sweet!  I used my "cupcake plunger" to core the center.

Once that step was done, it was time to make the frosting! This chocolate frosting is very rich. After piping the frosting, I sprinkled on graham cracker crumbs...

But wait! That isn't the end...
Then in the broiler toast 12 marshmallows and place one on top of each cupcake.

Then it is time to dig in! The cupcakes were quite rich and incredibly sweet! They are very good and will make them again (especially when I have a reason to bake cupcakes).

The final step is back to wash some more dishes...
