My mom saw the Hershey's Smores Cupcake mix at the store and decided it needed to be tried considering that both cupcakes and smores are delicious. The box includes a chocolate cake mix, a graham cracker base, and a marshmallow filling.
The first step was to press the graham cracker crust into the bottom of each paper cup. The paper cup is essential.
Next you add one dollop of the cake mix to cover the graham cracker crust. I spread it evenly so the whole area was covered.
Then the marshmallow filling is added. You need to keep it in the center so that the cake mix can completely cover it. It is kind of difficult to get out and not have it stick to everything.
Then you completely cover the marshmallow by dividing up the rest of the cake mix between the cupcakes.
After a quick trip into the oven they come out looking like this. You can't use the traditional cake tester method since the marshmallow core will always have it come back sticky. Instead, if they look like this, then they are done.
The cupcake is easy to eat. It seems like a bit of the butter in the graham cracker crust leaked through the paper cups, but it is easy to peel away.
The marshmallow filling reminds me a bit of a ding dong or a hostess cupcake. I love those, so the addition of the graham cracker makes it a unique cupcake. I'm unsure whether I would add some frosting to the top. I do love frosting, but it might be too much.
