11 S'mores Cupcakes To Wish You A Happy S'mores Day!

Happy National S'mores Day! Yes, there is a National S'mores Day amongst all the food holidays out there and since s'mores are one of my favorite cupcake flavors I wanted to share some s'mores cupcake photos and recipe links. And yes, some of these have been blogged before, but I wanted to share my favorites! I love all things s'mores, the gooey-er (spelling?) the better. So happy happy happy!

My personal three favorite s'mores cupcakes I've eaten come from:

The wonderful custom cupcake seller/blogger Amanda Cupcake s'mores cupcakes that blew my mind; click here for the recipe!



Blogger Stuff Your Face writes of the recipe for these cupcakes below:

I really wanted that graham cracker flavor but the texture of melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow – to stay true to S’mores. So I decided to go with a graham cracker flavored cake, replacing some of the flour with ground graham crackers. Then topping the cake with Nutella (the texture is just like melted chocolate and it tastes so good) and using my favorite Meringue frosting and torching it – which is a good reason on its own to make these cupcakes!



Blogger Glorious Treats serves up a recipe for these cupcakes:



From their post: What could be a more perfect cupcake flavor for summer than s'mores? I first gave this recipe combo a try several years ago, and have since made them several times. They are always such a hit for summer parties! A delicious chocolate cupcake (using my go-to chocolate cupcake recipe) is paired with light and fluffy mashmallowy frosting and topped with the traditional elements of s'mores... graham crackers and chocolate.

Blogger The Snappy Gourmet has gone over the top (ha!) with these "chunky s'mores dipped cupcakes," aka hi hat cupcakes that look amazing! Go there for the recipe.
