Sometimes I have irrational fears.
The kind of fear that makes no sense to a level headed person…
For example, those creepy commercials and birthday cards of dogs with human teeth.
Who decided that was cute?
A dog doesn’t need to smile at me with human incisors to be adorable. A dog on its own is more than enough.
I want the advertisers of the world to hear my cry.
I honestly had a dream last night that my dog was chewing her bone and looked over at me and smiled a big, toothy grin.
I woke up in a cold sweat.
Another irrational fear is when I am getting a pedicure, I am petrified that my feet are going to touch the boob of the pedicure lady. She’s all hunched over my foot and I have had, on more than one occasion, a few near misses.
I don’t know why I am scared of this happening, but pedicures are never relaxing for me, because I am constantly on boob/foot high alert.
I’m sure the pedicure ladies are used to the boob-grazing, but I don’t want to be the culprit.
It’s completely irrational.
Now that we have established that I am a lunatic, I can easily share with you another irrational fear:
That you will get sick of my s’mores week.
I know it doesn’t make any sense…but it lays there in the back of my mind with Michael Meyers and pajama jeans.
Since I am trying to work through my issues, I am going to push forward and lay a S’mores Cupcake on ya.
It’s therapeutic.
S’mores Cupcakes.
Here’s the deal with these cupcakes:
They are pretty, they are easy and people will give you big, sloppy kisses if you make them. That’s a fact.
First, give each cupcake a little graham cracker crust…
Then bake up your cupcakes. I used a chocolate box mix. But if you are looking for a good chocolate cupcake recipe, try THIS ONE.
After your cupcakes are baked, get your milk chocolate ready…
And melt it up.
Give each cupcake a chocolate bath.
Make some delicious Marshmallow Buttercream and frost your cupcakes.
Now, if you’re feeling fancy get your garnish on.
I lined a baking sheet with marshmallows…
And broiled them for 15 SECONDS! Don’t walk away, because the toasting happens fast. FAST!
That’s it! Now take a bite. Don’t be scared.
Isn’t that crust pretty?
Don’t forget that on Friday I will be having a link up party, so you guys can share all your favorite s’mores treats with me!
And if you’re wondering where I got those cupcake liners, here’s a link.

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Very good info. Lucky me I discovered your site by accident (stumbleupon).

Could you make this as a cake instead of cupcakes?
I made your smores cupcakes for my birthday party recently…OMG! Delicious and a huge hit! I featured them here: http://everydayisahollyday4.blogspot.com/. Thanks!
You are hysterical.. I love reading your posts and this recipe is a MUST for me to make. Thank you!
I don’t get pedicures because I can’t stand to get my feet touched and sure don’t want to hit a boob! I also would never get tired of s’mores anything, I’m obsessed with them, my all time S’mores Board on Pinterest…..it’s yummy 🙂
my comment should read “they are my all time favorites and you should check out my S’mores Board on Pinterest….not sure how this stuff was left out lol
I made these with the chocolate cupcake recipe suggested. It was all VERY yummy but also very rich. I might try cutting down on the sugar in both the icing and the cupcake and see how it turns out. Also I think I broiled my mini marshmallows too close together, as they stuck together and were hard to separate. But I will definitely be making them again. Thanks for the recipe! I really love how the graham cracker crust actually stays with the cupcake 🙂
Made these today for my mom’s birthday. They turned out so cute and YUMMY! It was my first foray into the world of buttercream and I can’t believe I haven’t ever tried to make it before! It was so easy and delicious! I did have a little trouble with “roasting” my marshmallows. They all stuck together in a big clump and were a little bit of a sticky mess, but all in all this was a super easy, super cute, and super yummy recipe.
Oh these sound so amazing. I think I’ve found what I’m making for my bf’s birthday!
Oh my gosh, these are the BEST cupcakes!! I randomly found this recipe and website when I searched S’Mores cupcakes…lucky me! First of all the cupcakes were a HIT! They are delish! Secondly, your website is amazing…I love it and want to try almost everything! 🙂
AMAZING!! I made these cupcakes today and used the suggested chocolate cake recipe. It was so moist and not over poweringly sweet! A perfect cupcake!love this recipe and the marshmallow buttercream also! This is a must try recipe for all those that haven’t yet. Also, it was simple! I’ll be making these again! Thank you 🙂
Hi there! I’m planning on making these tomorrow to take to work the next day. After the marshmallows broil, will they stay soft the day after?
If you keep them in an airtight container they will be fine 🙂 Or if you’re worried, add and toast the marshmallows before you walk out the door.
Absolutely amazing recipe. So easy to make, pretty much idiot proof and not to mention delicious. I made these for my little sisters and they gobbled up every last bite. They look so pretty too 🙂
First of all, I am loving s’mores week. Secondly, I am literally crying from laughing so hard about the whole boob graze thing. You are fantastic!
Loving all the Smores! I think I will make one of these treats for my Girl scouts.
Oh and about those irrational fears… Yeah, right there with ya especially on the dogs with human teeth “shiver”. Too many near misses on the “boob grazing” to think about… um yeah can you say “awkward” LOL
Sick of S’mores Week? As IF! The only thing better than your great recipes and food porn photos is your deft writing and your wit. You’re my new blog hero!
