Hershey’s Filled S’mores Cupcakes

I have tried a few different recipes in the past. Although they were delicious, I didn’t feel they fully represented S’mores.

To be true to the taste, I felt that we needed two key elements…..Toasted Marshmallows and Hershey’s Chocolate. That means that the cupcake needs to be graham cracker, filled with Hershey’s chocolate, and topped with toasted marshmallow frosting!!

The graham cracker cupcakes are fluffy, and have a lot of graham cracker goodness! I put the graham crackers in a Ziploc bag, and use a rolling pin to crush them.
