S'Mores Cupcakes!

My husband and I have been camping quite a bit lately, and so I have been eating quite a few s'mores. This got me to thinking that a s'mores cupcake would be super yummy. So... I did some searching on other blogs and found a couple of recipes that I combined to create these. 

I saw the idea for the chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow icing at Sew Darn Cute  and I saw the idea to have a graham cracker bottom with graham cracker cake, chocolate frosting, and marshmallow filling at Cupcake Bake Shop I decided that I would like to try a chocolate cupcake with graham cracker bottom and marshmallow frosting.

First, I crushed 6 graham crackers in my food processor and stirred in 1/2 stick of melted butter. I then spooned teaspoonfuls of this mixture into the cupcake liners. This made enough for 2 dozen cupcakes. However, the batter and frosting made 3 dozen cupcakes so I had to crush a few more graham crackers. Here is what a filled liner looked like.
The chocolate cupcake recipe I used was Martha Stewart's one bowl chocolate cupcakes. The recipe says to fill the liners 1/3 full, but I found that they needed to have more batter (approx. 1/2 full).  Here was the finished result after I topped them with the marshmallow frosting. YUMMY!

Yum! I really wish I could try all of your creations. I am starting to feel left out.
