Once I first made these, I used s’mores oreos as the bottom of the cupcake. However these oreos are loads more durable to seek out now and so they’ve modified them a bit, so I made a decision to tweak the recipe for a extra easy “graham cracker” aspect to those cupcakes.

I ended up adapting my graham cracker crust recipe and placing it below a satan’s meals doctored cake combine. That took care of the graham cracker and the chocolate a part of the s’mores.
