SMORES CUPCAKES!

I know I say this every time, but this really is one of the yummiest things I've ever made. A favorite blog of mine is Bakerella, creator of the oh-so-cute cake pops. (photo from bakerella.com)
She makes some of the cutest and most delicious-looking baked goods I have ever seen! Her latest post is a recipe for smores cupcakes that looked SO good I immediately started gathering ingredients...

It looks like a lot of stuff, but its almost all things I already had on hand! The recipe calls for two batters - graham cracker and chocolate - as well as graham cracker filling. I ate at least 400 spoonfuls of the graham cracker batter before I baked it - it was that good. After the batters were made it was time to assemble somewhat of a cupcake sandwich: first graham cracker batter, graham cracker filling, a marshmallow, chocolate batter, more graham cracker topping!

Then it was time to put them in the oven. Only fifteen minutes later, this is what emerged....

I mean, come on.

The best part is, all of them sunk in the middle where the marshmallow was. Typically I would be sad about the presentation resembling a dormant volcano BUT this indented center actually held an ooey gooey too-good-for-words suprise. Y-U-U-U-U-M

And, true to the recipe, we added some chocolate ganache to finish them off.

Go here for the recipe (and slightly better pictures). Thanks, Bakerella!
