Mini Smores Cups Recipes

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar until well combined. Press a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and bake until golden and just set, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the cupcakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the buttermilk, water and oil and whisk to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Let cool in the tins on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the tins and allow to cool completely.
• For the marshmallow frosting: Combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heatproof mixing bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are warm and smooth to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on low speed, gradually increasing to medium and then finally up to high. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.
• Spread the frosting on the cupcakes. With a handheld pastry torch, lightly brown the frosting. Decorate each cupcake with a graham cracker piece and a shard of chocolate.

Steps:

• Directions makes 12 mini cups Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grind graham crackers in a mini-food processor until a fine powder forms. Add in powdered sugar and melted butter until mixture turns into a crust (it shouldn't be greasy, if it's too greasy, add some powdered sugar to the mixture. But not too much.) Spray mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker crust into each mini-cup with the back side of the melon-baller (it helps form the cup shape. you can use your hands if you want - either way works). Bake 4 minutes, remove pan. Add about 3 dark chocolate chips to each cup, put back into oven for about a minute. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise and place one marshmallow (cut side down) into each cup, covering up the dark chocolate. Put back in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until marshmallows begin to grow in size. Remove from oven, and cool on rack for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from the pan, and continue to cool on rack. Break candy bars in a small, microwavable bowl, and melt (slowly, nuking for only about 10 seconds at a time, and stirring often). Dip each s'mores cup in the chocolate, or drizzle chocolate over s'mores cup with a spoon. Leave alone to set (in fridge is best - NOT in the freezer).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 42 miniature muffin tins with paper liners.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter in a bowl until evenly combined. Spoon graham cracker mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing into the bottom and up the sides creating a crust.
• Place 1 chocolate square onto each crust and top each with 3 miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in the preheated oven until marshmallows are puffy and chocolate is melted, about 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter in a bowl.
• Use a mini muffin pan and place a small scoop of crumb mixture into each cup.
• Press the mixture to form a cup.
• Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until edges bubble and remove from oven.
• Break candy bar into rectangles and cut marshmallows in half.
• Place one piece of chocolate into each cup and top with a marshmallow.
• Bake for another minute or two or until the marshmallow is soft.
• Remove and cool.
• Melt the remaining candy bars and dip each s'more into the chocolate mixture.
• Let stand until set and enjoy.

Steps:

• Split or break the graham crackers into twos and set aside.
• Next, you need to heat the marshmallows. There are several ways to do this.
• If using the broiler: you need to place the marshmallows on top of 1/2 graham cracker and put under the broiler for a few seconds or until golden brown and toasted. Remove the Graham and place a Reese's cup on top then place the other 1/2 graham crack back on top and press it lightly to flatten the marshmallows.
• If using a campfire/fire-pit: Prepare the graham cracker in an area near your fire, and using a utensil (such as a tree branch or your marshmallow roasting sticks) roast the marshmallows until golden brown and toasted. Place the marshmallow on 1/2 of the graham cracker, place a Reese's cup on top, and the other 1/2 of graham, light press down to flatten the marshmallows.
• If using a gas stove-top or grill: Prepare graham crackers near the stove top, place a marshmallow on a fork (you can use your tree branch or marshmallow roasting sticks) turn on flame to highest setting and let the marshmallow brown, being careful not to let it catch fire. place the browned marshmallow on 1/2 graham cracker and place Reese's cup on top, with the other 1/2 of graham. Lightly push down on to flatten the marshmallow.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C)
• Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until all of the crumbs are moistened with butter.
• Fill foil cupcake liners halfway, then using a small spoon or your fingers push down the crumbs to form your crust.
• Bake 5-7 minutes, until they are just starting to turn golden brown. Set aside.
• Lower oven temperature to 275˚F (140˚C).
• Combine the cream, butter, and sugar into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 90-120 seconds, stirring halfway through.
• Add chopped chocolate and stir until all the chocolate is melted.
• Whisk 3 eggs and 2 yolks in a separate bowl. While stirring eggs, add a small amount of warm chocolate/cream mixture into the eggs (to gently warm up your eggs so they don't scramble!)
• Pour the egg mixture back into the chocolate/cream mixture and stir to completely combine the two.
• Pour the chocolate filling into cupcake foils leaving a little bit of room at the top ( ¼-⅛ of an inch (6-3 mm) or so).
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the chocolate filling is just set and wobbles very slightly shaken
• Turn on the broiler to high and top each pie with a marshmallow.
• Broil the pies until the marshmallows just start to char and brown. If the tops brown too quickly for the marshmallow to spread across the entire top of the pie, take the pan out and once they have cooled for a minute, press down on the top of the marshmallow and the gooey insides will come out and spill on the top of your pie!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the marshmallows, and stir with a silicone spoon until completely melted.
• Add the graham cereal, and stir until evenly coated.
• Decrease the heat to low and leave the pot on the burner to keep the mixture warm.
• Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, transfer one scoop of the cereal mixture to a muffin cup. Let stand for 20 seconds to cool enough to handle, then use your fingers to press the ball into the bottom and up the side to mold it to the shape of the cup.
• Repeat with the remaining cereal mixture, working with one scoop at a time, then let all the cereal cups cool to room temperature. You will have about 2 scoops-worth of cereal mixture leftover. Discard or save for another use.
• Divide the marshmallow fluff evenly among 3 small bowls. Stir 1 teaspoon of water into each bowl of fluff. Stir the red food coloring into one bowl, and stir the blue food coloring into a second bowl. The third bowl will be plain white.
• Transfer each bowl of fluff to a small piping bag or plastic zip-top bag.
• Cut the bottoms or corners off each bag and fill 4 cereal cups with each color.
• Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and microwave until melted. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small piping bag or plastic zip-top bag.
• Cut the bottom or corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the top of each cup.
• Scatter the sprinkles evenly over each cup then refrigerate the cups to set the fluff filling, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
• Stand a sparkler candle in the center of each cup, if you like, and light on fire just before serving.
• Enjoy!
