Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup warm water
  • cup s'mores vodka (I use Three Olives brand)
  • 1 batch marshmallow fluff (recipe below or use ½ cup purchased Fluff)
  • 1 batch s'mores vodka frosting (recipe below)

Marshmallow Fluff

  • 1 large egg white
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • tsp salt
  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
  • tsp cream of tarter

S'mores Vodka Frosting

  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup s'mores vodka (I use Three Olives brand)
  • 3 graham crackers, crushed

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12-cavity cupcake tin with papers.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluff, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and mix to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until just blended, taking care not to over-mix.
  • With a spatula, stir in warm water and vodka, until batter is just combined.
  • Fill cupcake tins lined with cupcake papers ¾ way full of batter and bake for 18-20 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool cupcakes in pan for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Once cupcakes are cool, core out the center using either a cupcake corer or a knife. Fill the inside of the cupcake with marshmallow fluff.
  • Frost cupcakes and top with a Hershey Bar "pip."

Marshmallow Fluff

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat egg white, corn syrup, and salt on high speed for 4-5 minutes until mixture thickens quite a bit. The mixture will have started clear, but after beating, it will turn bright white.
  • Beat in confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and cream of tartar on low speed, until combined.
  • Store marshmallow fluff in fridge until ready to use.

S'mores Vodka Frosting

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Slowly blend in the confectioners' sugar, cup by cup until well-combined. Pour the vodka in. Mix graham cracker crumbs into frosting with a spatula.

Notes

  • For an easy way to core cupcakes, I recommend this cupcake corer (affiliate link)
