may I please have s'more!

Teacher appreciation week is being celebrated this week at my daughters school. Parents were asked to bring in a dessert for the teachers luncheon. I went back and forth with what to bring in!! I finally decided on these s'more cupcakes! If you have thought about or never thought about making these… GO, NOW, RUN make them! you will not be sorry! They are my new favorite!!

a bit time consuming but that's ok! first add a graham cracker crust to the bottom of the cupcake liners and top it with some chopped chocolate.. fill the liners 3/4 full with your favorite chocolate cupcake batter and top with a sprinkle of graham cracker and chopped chocolate.

 bake for 22 minutes! you end up with these.. good enough to eat without the marshmallow frosting!

now make your marshmallow frosting and swirl!

add a piece of Hershey's chocolate and sprinkle with a tiny bit of crushed graham cracker!

package them up and send them to school for all the teachers to enjoy!

strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream!

strawberry season is here!!  and what better way to use fresh sweet strawberries then to bake them in cupcakes! I've been wanting to try the recipe from Martha Stewart's Cupcake book. Well, I did it and I'm so happy with these cupcakes! These are soft, fluffy and full of strawberry flavor! I used my own buttercream recipe and added in 1 tablespoon of fresh strawberry puree.
