Two of the world's greatest and most popular treats have united to become the ultimate indulgence ever!  We're talking about s'more and cupcakes and oh boy are they something special!

All the elements of s'more are here in cupcake form, graham cracker cake, chocolate truffle stuffed inside and of course marshmallow frosting to finish it off! This instantly became my favorite cupcake after just one bite!
