My goodness, am I in love with this cupcake. This chewy, gooey, chocolaty, sweet toasty cupcake. From the buttery graham cracker crust, to the soft, fudgy middle, to the gooey toasted marshmallow on top — it’s everything you love about a S’mores — in a cupcake! Oh and guess what? It’s also stuffed with a Hershey bar.
And my favorite part about it? You don’t even have to make a frosting! Just top with a giant pillowy marshmallow!
Whether making standard or mini cupcakes, just top with one big marshmallow, place on a baking sheet, and broil in the oven until golden brown and perfectly toasty. The marshmallows are best when served warm and gooey, but if you need to broil the cupcakes earlier in the day and serve later, just reheat for about 10-15 seconds in the microwave — just until the marshmallow gets big and puffy and looks like it’s about to explode. :) That’s when you know it’s just right! They are just as good reheated in the microwave as when made fresh.
For the standard sized cupcakes, I added a layer of graham cracker crust, a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of Hershey chocolate bar, and a final layer of chocolate cake. Goodness gracious, have I mentioned how much I love this cupcake??
Enjoy this one, guys! Just one more cupcake recipe left!

Cupcake Assembly
4 Hershey’s Bars
1 bag Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
For MINI cupcakes, add 2 teaspoons of graham cracker crust to the bottom of each cupcake liner. Press down with the back of a spoon to flatten, and bake at 350 for 5 mins. Fill the prepared cupcake liners with chocolate cake batter until 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
For STANDARD cupcakes, add 1 tablespoon graham cracker crust to the bottom of each cupcake liner. Press down with the back of a spoon to flatten, and bake at 350 for 5 mins. Add a heaping 1 tablespoon of cupcake batter to the prepared cupcake liners, top with two pieces of a Hershey’s chocolate bar, and press down. Top with another heaping tablespoon of cupcake batter. I used cookie scoop, found at Target. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes.
Top with a marshmallow and broil in the oven until golden brown, watching the entire time to avoid burning. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Enjoy!!

This is your best one yet…I think. But it’s so hard to pick!
The soft, fudgy middle that just is ooze-worthy AND the marshmallow “hat” this little cupcake is wearing…oh my dear. Yes!
You are making me veryyyyyy happy this week! ;)
I’ve seen lots of s’mores cupcakes floating around the internet, but these are by far the most gorgeous and exciting ones yet! They look so decadent, delicious and fun (yes, fun is extremely important for a cupcake). The giant marshmallow on top may be my favorite part :)
I think the S’Mores Cupcake would be perfect for my celebrating my birthday next week! Thanks for the recipe! I would normally be compelled to pair a wine with my dessert but I a big glass of cold milk will be the perfect pairing for this!
Yowzers….these sound amazing & easy to do! I am so lOvInG your blog! i am going to try to start a girls’ night out complete with chocolate & a craft! Thanks for the inspiration!
oh.my.gosh. i don’t even have words…i need!
Okay this isn’t fair. I have to fast this morning for bloodwork and I soooo shouldn’t have come here until later! *salivating*
I can’t wait to make these….problem is I would have to eat all of them!
How FUN is this!! Love the giant marshmallow :)
I am a marshmallow FIEND, and a toasted marshmallow nut! This sounds absolutely heavenly. Darn diet!!
I swear, you never fail– my mouth is watering uncontrollably right now. My GOD.

Love that the marshmallow makes the frosting! How easy and perfect!
Ok, you got my attention with this one :)
You don’t put Hershey chocolate in the mini size?
I didn’t, because there didn’t seem to be enough room, but you could certainly give it a try! :) It was definitely yummy in the big cupcake. :)
This is the one I’ve been waiting for since I saw it in the party pictures. Making this soon definitely!
That’s what I should’ve put on top of my s’mores molten lava cakes – a toasted marshmallow! These cupcakes look amazing and I want want asap.
You are kidding me right now. Why are all the ingredients for this not in my house RIGHT NOW. I need one :(
whoa!! now that is a cupcake! looks fantastic!
can never turn down a good cupcake :)
Oh my goodness those look delicious!!
I made these last night and they are delicious! They are also not difficult at all! A couple things though, my graham cracker crust was a little crumbly when eaten—thinking maybe I should add a little more butter next time? Also I had a lot of extra cake batter. Did I use too much graham cracker crust in each cupcake so that they didn’t even out or was there extra??? No worries! I might use my extra batter to whip up a batch of the peanut butter ones today since they both use the chocolate cake batter.
I made these tonight and I have to say, these are the best cupcakes I have ever made…and I bake a lot. The marshmallow topping was the reason I used this recipe and it did not disappoint! AMAZING!
Holy Cow. I tried this recipe a few weeks ago, and these are literally the best cupcakes i have ever had. They taste even better than a S’more. We froze some of them in the freezer and me and my mom just ate the last two last night. we have eaten one every day. we can’t get enough!! i’m making these for my brothers wedding dinner. I bet they will be a hit!! thanks so much for this AMAZING recipe!!
This grandmother has been making cupcakes for my grands for 10 years. Last night we had these mini cupcakes- I did bake a piece of chocolate in them then topped them with another small piece and a teddy graham after the marshmellow cooled. Oh man how yummy! My grandson said these are what I want for my birhtday and I want LOTS of them! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
I had the opportunity to sample these at a fundraising cucpcake sale. A co-worker made them, amazing!! Mmmmmm, came out of my mouth at least three times while eating it! I plan to make them for a party next weekend. Yummy!
Lalalalalove This RECIPE !
do I make the box cake and then add the rest of the ingredients ?
Thank you for sharing your recipes. I am anxious to try them as I love to bake. The photos are so appealing, makes you want to take a bite right off the page.
This looks like such a wonderful recipe and I can’t wait to try it! Do you remember how many regular sized cupcakes it yields?
Not only do these look insane, these ARE insane! I made them for our 4 year old’s birthday party today and they’re a huge hit! Never had any other cupcake like it. A+ recipe!
