S'mores Cupcakes

A delicious chocolate cake, filled with molten chocolate and covered in a cinnamon and digestive biscuit crumb, smothered in melted marshmallow. S'mores are an American camp-fire treat. Marshmallows are toasted over the fire to melt, then place a square of chocolate between two crackers/biscuits, sandwich it all together, then devour. What an absolute treat!

Makes 12 Cupcakes

Ingredients

50g Dark Chocolate chilled

5 Digestive Biscuits 

1tsp Cinnamon

80g Unsalted Butter, melted

280g Caster Sugar

200g Plain Flour

40g Cocoa Powder

1tbsp Baking Powder

Pinch of Salt

2 Large Eggs

240ml Whole Milk

 

For the Topping

280g bag of mini marshmallows

4tbsp of water

Method

To start bash the biscuits with the cinnamon in a bowl until fine crumbles form, set aside.

Meanwhile in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, place the butter,caster sugar, plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix until well incorporated and sandy in texture. 

In a separate jug mix the eggs and milk together. 

Mix the wet ingredients to the dry and mix on medium speed until thoroughly incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and silky.

Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases until 3/4 full, place a square of chocolate in each case and cover with a little spoonful of the biscuit crumbs. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin slightly before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Meanwhile make the marshmallow topping by melting the marshmallows together with the water in a pan. Mix together until they are fully melted, then spoon this over the cooled cupcake.

Finally decorate with extra crushed biscuit and a square of chocolate.
