Skor S’mores Cupcakes. From the imagination of my 16 year old daughter, these cupcakes have all the flavour you’d expect from your favourite S’mores treats… probably more!
My 16 year old takes the reigns for today’s new cupcake recipe; it was completely her idea. Long gone are the days when Olivia asks permission to bake, she just takes things into her own hands. I was working away upstairs the other day when the scent of something delicious starting wafting up from the kitchen. I yelled from the top of the stairs to ask what it was but the only reply was “Cupcakes!” An hour or so later I was presented with one of these delicious little beauties. Olivia is very fond of s’mores and practically anything with a graham cracker crumb crust. I thought it was a clever idea to actually incorporate a graham cracker crumb crust into the cupcake. It really does make a really nice textural contrast and is quite tasty too. Chocolate chips are also incorporated into the batter and it really doesn’t matter that they sink to the bottom. They will sit on top of the bottom crust to provide a rich chocolate layer. A sprinkle of Skor toffee chips on top along with the torched or broiled marshmallows and a piece of graham cracker finish these pretty little cupcakes. I think look good enough to sit in a bakery window. Ya did good kiddo. What a great addition they would make to any kid’s celebration party. You’d better make a double batch, the adults are just not going to pass these up.

For the chocolate ganache topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips

To top each cupcake
- 1/2 to 1 tsp Skor toffee chips
Instructions
For the graham crumb bases
- Mix together the crumbs, sugar and butter well
- Spoon the crumbs evenly into the bottoms of a paper lined 12 cupcake pan and press them down firmly into the bottom.
For the chocolate cupcake batter
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes.
- Spoon evenly into the prepared cupcake pans.
- Sprinkle each cupcake with a few of the chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the chocolate ganache topping
- In a small double boiler melt together the chocolate and until smooth but not overheated. I use a small metal bowl over a small pot of simmering water.

To finish the cupcakes
- Sprinkle the cupcakes with the toffee chips and add a few miniature marshmallows.
- Brown the marshmallows with a butane kitchen torch or by watching them carefully on a rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Don’t overdo it. A little color is all you need.
