S'Mores Cupcakes!

S'Mores Cupcakes, yes please! With Labor Day officially behind us, what better way to welcome Fall then whip up a batch of these? The marshmallow & buttercream frosting, crumbled graham crackers & bite size chocolate will not disappoint!

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners; set aside. Sift together cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, warm water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until smooth, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl to assure batter is well mixed.

STEP 2
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes, rotating pan once if needed. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Mix Betty Crocker Buttercream frosting and 1/2 cup of marshmallow creme. Pipe or spread onto cupcake tops. Crumble a light layer of graham cracker crumbs, and insert 1/2 piece of Hershey's milk chocolate.
