S’mores Cupcakes

This week I decided to do an American classic on top of cupcakes because I like the idea of s’mores and here in the UK it is not something we have.

In the UK we do not have graham crackers so I had a little google about what might be similar and digestive biscuits are apparently similar.

I also added a little chocolate surprise to the middle of each cupcake to add an extra chocolatiness to these cupcakes.

I just add a square of Cadbury milk chocolate to the middle of each cupcake. Then I add more cake mixture to the cover the square of chocolate.

You could use big marshmallows to the top of these cupcakes instead of mini marshmallows. I used one and half bags of mini marshmallows.

I did make 24 cupcakes so one bag would be enough for 12 cupcakes. I think I went overboard with the mini marshmallows as I topped each cupcake with loads of marshmallows because you can never have too many marshmallows.

Lockdown here is the UK has been tough, so I wanted to do something nice for my brother and his family just to cheer them up a little bit.

I had to deliver them to Royal Mail where my brother works so I took extras for everyone who works there because they have been working hard during this pandemic and deserve a treat.
