Smore Cupcakes

These cupcakes are a diabetics nightmare! They are definitely not diet friendly!! But boy o boy are they good!! Made with a graham cracker bottom, layered with chocolate chips, chocolate cake then another layer of chocolate chips and graham cracker bits on top, and stuffed with a surprise !!!! I took these cupcakes to work and they did not last long at all. They were gone within minutes of being placed on the table!



 I love these cupcake wrappers. The blue is so vibrant!!!


 Inside the cupcakes were chocolate rolos. To make sure the rolos didn't completely melt away while they were baking, I froze them before hand and took them out of the freezer when I was ready to use them. I placed 2 rolos in each cupcake before putting them in the oven to bake. The chocolate melted however the caramel inside was still chewy! The bottom of the cupcake tasted almost like a chewy brownie. So Yummy!

I topped each cupcake with a creamy butter cream icing, a piece of graham cracker and a square of chocolate.

Boston Cream Pie Cupcake

Well here they are...... Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes... YUMMMY!!! A light vanilla cake filled with a creamy vanilla custard, and topped with a chocolate ganache!! They turned out way better than I expected. I have never made a chocolate ganache, I thought it would be a lot harder to work with than it was as well. I actually love the look of the ganache, its smooth and shiny. The one complaint I do have is that I wish there was more filling inside the cupcake. These cupcakes were made for a woman's birthday at work so ofcourse I had to add colored sprinkles!!!
