1 Chocolate boxed cake mix. 1 box Graham Cracker Crumbs. 1 Bag Marshmallows. 5 Hershey Bars.
You'll also need 6 tbsp of butter and 3 tbsp of sugar for the graham cracker crust and 3 eggs, water, and oil for the cake mix. I started by mixing up a graham cracker crust according to the instructions on the box. I found though that you will probably want to add about 1 tbsp of butter extra to get it to the right consistency.
Line the cupcake pan with paper cups. Then put about 1/2 a heaping tablespoon full (I'm not sure that is even really a measurement, but for my sake, just pretend it is) into each cup and press it down to create the crust.
Make the cake according to directions on the box.
Then spoon the batter over the graham cracker crust to fill the cups about 2/3 of the way full.
Break apart the Hershey bars.
Take a bite for yourself to make sure the chocolate is yummy. Give a little piece to the baby pulling at your leg because he is crying for you to hold him and maybe the chocolate will pacify him for a few minutes. Oops. That last bit of instruction is for me not you.
Put two rectangles of Hershey bar on each cupcake.
Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the cake is done. Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes and then remove from the pan to finish cooling.
Look down at the baby pulling on your leg once again and take pity on his pleading eyes and chocolate smeared lips and pick him up and love on him while you let the cupcakes cool for a little bit. Again that was just for me.
The intent of this cupcake is to roast a marshmallow over a campfire and then smash the roasted marshmallow on top and enjoy an ooey gooey cupcake while camping. But if you decide to make them at home, simply cut a large marshmallow in half and place it on top of the cupcake. Put in on a sheet pan or whatever and then put it under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the marshmallow is nice and toasted. Then serve immediately.
So what is the verdict? Were they good or not? I used Dallin and Mandy as my taste testers and I think that they agreed that it was finger licking good. I will be making them again to take on our camp out next week, so I'll let you know what everyone else thinks of them.
Notice Mandy is still wearing that pink "cute" shirt. I don't know what's up with that girl. But don't you just love the face she made while eating her cupcake with her eyes closed. That girl loves her chocolate.
This was a really fun exercise. I learned a little about my camera. All the shots were made without a flash, which I have learned can be pretty tricky indoors. I had fun trying to document every step through photos. And because it was so fun, don't be surprised if you see a recipe show up on here every now and then. Don't feel obligated to make it. Just humor me and let me pretend to be a great cook like the Pioneer Woman every once in a while. I would totally love it if all of you that have a blog would humor me even further and post a recipe occasionally on your blog. I've said it many, many times before - I LOVE new recipes! And if it is a tried and true recipe from one of you, that makes it even better.

So what you're saying is that instead of posting five recipes in December, I should spread them out all through the year?? ;)
Where are y'all going camping?? we're going in June, and I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope it doesn't rain (like it has the last two times we have gone camping)!
Actually I loved your recipe post in December. That black bean soup is so easy and yummy. And thank-you, thank-you for that tip about the sweet Thai chili sauce!!
We are going camping at Hanna Park. I am seriously hoping that it warms up by next week though or we are going to freezing our butts off!!!!
That looks really good... I think I do want to try it out!
Aww, I love Hanna Park! Actually, the last time I went camping in FL was at Hanna Park with the Gavilans!! Good times.
Katheryn, you had my mouth watering before I could finish your post! I will most definitely try it out! Thanks!
P.S. I just thought of something... for the campout, you should use foil cupcake wrappers to look more "campish" (if that's a word)!
Love your post and now would really like a cupcake. You are always very creative with your posts and do such a good job capturing moments with your children.
Oh, you've got me so hungry now for one of those s'mores cupcakes! I loved this post! I'm going to try it with my kids! The pictures and instructions were great! Thanks!
