Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
15 full size graham crackers (about 2 cups of cracker crumbs) 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbsp sugar
Cupcake Ingredients: Boxed Chocolate Cake Mix 1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Frosting Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) 3 – 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2, 7 oz jars of marshmallow fluff
Optional Toppings: Chocolate bars Chocolate syrup Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add cupcake liners to a pan and set aside.
-
Add graham crackers to a blender or food processor and mix until fine crumbs are formed.
-
In a small bowl add crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Mix until crumbs have been coated in the butter and a wet but sticky texture is achieved.
-
Put 1 Tbsp of cracker mixture in each cupcake liner. Use a spoon to firmly press down the crumbs into a flat surface. (I used the top of a sprinkles lid and it worked great). Bake for 7 minutes and remove from the oven.
-
Meanwhile add all cupcake ingredients into a large bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp of batter into each cupcake liner. Bake for 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Allow cupcakes to rest in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to come to room temp.
-
To make the frosting, cream the butter for 1-2 minutes on medium speed until it is light and fluffy. Add 1 jar of marshmallow cream and mix to combine. On a slower speed, add 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
-
Incorporate the remaining jar of marshmallow cream followed by another 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. Continue to mix on high until a smooth, glossy frosting has formed.
