Spring has those perfect fire pit nights. It's not too cold where the thought of sitting outside just seems insane and it's not too hot where having a fire just seems weird when your trying to stay cool.
Fire pit = Smores
Mmmm... smores are so so so underrated, especially when you use some quality ingredients. Well Saturday night was our ooey gooey smores night.
Sunday left me with a lot of extra marshmallows.
So...
I made cupcakes. Ooey gooey smores cupcakes. I made these same cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party, and they were so good people were hiding them to take home. After the party I found a couple of them in some interesting spots around the house.
This is my super easy not from scratch recipe, except the frosting. Frosting always has to be from scratch!!!
 |
| You really can't go wrong with Trader Joe's |
 |
| Just follow the recipe on the cake box and add marshmallows |
 |
| Don't overfill the cupcakes because the marshmallows expand |
 |
| Cool then frost with butter cream frosting and dip cupcake in crushed graham cracker crumbs |
 |
| I add the chocolate square because Fair Trade Trader Joe's Swiss milk chocolate is insanely good |
 |
| I also made baby bite size cakes |
For the frosting I used this recipe
1-lb. box of C&H Pure Cane Powdered Sugar
add 1 cup softened butter (2 stick)
¼ cup of cream
1 tsp. of vanilla
1 cup of brown sugar
blend until smooth and fluffy
