Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 cup (41g) unsweetened cocoa powder*
3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature*
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil (melted coconut oil works too)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk*
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup JET-PUFFED marshmallow creme (Fluff)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream*
3/4 - 1 cup (90-120g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 3/4 cups (210g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 Tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
salt, to taste
12 JET-PUFFED marshmallows
4 full-sheet graham crackers, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until completely smooth. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently stir - about 5 stirs. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter won't be very thick.
  • Pour/spoon the batter into the liners - fill only halfway to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake in batches for 18-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before continuing.
  • In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, marshmallow creme, vanilla, and cream on medium speed until completely smooth. Add 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and the salt slowly with the mixer running on low, then increase the speed to high and beat for 1 minute. If it looks too thin, add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate the filling until ready to use.
  • Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sifted sugar/cocoa powder alternately with the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed after each addition. Once all added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 3/4 inch deep. Place 1 spoonful (a little more than 1 teaspoon) of marshmallow filling inside and top with the piece of cupcake you removed to seal. See photos above for visual. Repeat with all cupcakes. You will likely have leftover filling. It's great sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.
  • Frost the cupcakes however you like. I used my Wilton 1M swirl piping tip. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
  • Toast the marshmallows on a large baking sheet on one of the top oven racks with your oven on broil. They brown almost immediately, so don't leave the room! Once browned, quickly remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Scoop from the baking sheet using a spatula and place on top of the frosted cupcakes. Enjoy immediately while the marshmallows are nice and gooey.

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups marshmallow creme
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Purple, orange, neon green, blue and black gel food coloring, for coloring the frosting
12 chocolate-covered graham cracker cookies
Candy eyeballs, as needed

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with black cupcake liners.
  • Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Microwave the milk in a large microwave-safe bowl until bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cocoa until dissolved. Whisk in the granulated sugar, oil, vanilla and egg until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Divide the batter among the cupcake liners (about 1/4 cup per liner). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • For the frosting: Meanwhile, beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light, fluffy and almost double in size, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to low, add the marshmallow creme and confectioners' sugar and beat until just combined, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the frosting into 5 separate bowls. Color one bowl with purple gel food coloring, one bowl with orange gel food coloring, one bowl with neon green gel food coloring, one bowl with blue gel food coloring and one with black. Spoon into 5 separate piping bags fitted with small star tips (we used a size 15 tip).
  • For the decorations: Pipe monster faces and hair on top of the chocolate-covered graham cookies. Decorate with candy eyes. Use the remaining frosting to pipe on top of the cupcakes. Place one decorated cookie on top of each cupcake.

Time 50m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (100 grams)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (68 grams)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided (60 milliliters plus 15 milliliters)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk (125 milliliters)
2 tablespoons boiling water (30 milliliters)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (9 grams)
3 egg whites
3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 squares milk chocolate, optional

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and a line muffin tin with liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat together 1/4 cup of vegetable oil with the sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl about halfway through.
  • Add about a third of the dry ingredients into the sugar and oil mixture and stir gently until almost combined. Add in half of the buttermilk and continue to stir just until combined. Stir in another third of the dry ingredients followed by the remaining buttermilk and finally the remaining dry ingredients. Stir in the boiling water.
  • Whisk together the cocoa powder with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Scoop about 1 cup of the graham cracker cake batter into the cocoa mixture. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Pour about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker cake batter into each cupcake liner followed by 2 tablespoons of the chocolate batter. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the batters together to achieve a marbled effect. Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
  • For the marshmallow topping: Whisk together the egg whites, sugar and salt in a large metal or glass bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and place it over a saucepan containing about 2 centimeters (1 inch) of simmering water. Cook the egg whites, whisking frequently, until they reach 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), or until the mixture thins and you can no longer feel any sugar granules when you rub some between your fingers, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and whip the cooked meringue using a whisk attachment or hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whip in the vanilla extract then transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or a large resealable bag with the corner cut off. Pipe large dollops of the topping onto each cupcake.
  • Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallow meringue until golden brown. If you do not have a torch, you can place the cupcakes under the broiler for a minute or two until toasty. If desired, garnish with a piece of milk chocolate. Store the cupcakes in the fridge for up to 3 days, letting them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften up before eating.

Time 2h

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely ground graham crackers
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup milk
Filling:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Meringue Frosting:
4 egg whites, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Chocolate squares, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour, ground graham crackers, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and milk, alternating, starting and ending with the flour mixture, until just combined.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until golden brown, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top springs back to the touch, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tin 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the filling: While the cupcakes cool, prepare the filling: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup in a medium bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals on high, stirring, until smooth. Set aside until cooled and thickened slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • For the meringue frosting: Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water. Combine the egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the simmering water and whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are warm to the touch, turn white and are beginning to get fluffy. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment, and whip on high speed until the meringue is cooled, fluffy and very thick. Beat in the vanilla.
  • To assemble: Place the chocolate filling in a pastry bag or re-sealable plastic bag fitted with a small round tip (about 1/8-inch diameter) and snip the end. Pierce the center of each cupcake with the pastry tip and gently squeeze in the chocolate filling until it begins to come out of the top of the cupcake. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
  • Pipe or swirl the meringue frosting onto each cupcake. If desired, brown the meringue with a kitchen torch or place briefly under the broiler. Garnish with a chocolate square.
