Kiss My Cupcake

I have been hanging to make S’mores cupcakes for such a long time now. I have read a lot blogs about them and have become obsessed by the idea: Biscuit, Chocolate, & Toasted Marshmallow all wrapped up in a cupcake package.
I made the test batch with my 4 year old daughter. I started off by making a crumb base for the S’mores cupcakes much like a cheesecake bottom. I then sprinkled each crumb base with shaved chocolate. I decided to add a marshmallow centre. Essentially, the marshmallows completely melted in the cooking process, but they tasted yummy inside the cupcake.
After a lot of whipping, and I mean A LOT, I had my meringue icing just right. I piped it on in various designs some multi-peaked, some blobs, some swirled up high. I toasted some directly under the grill. It worked a treat. For the untoasted ones, I drizzled melted dark chocolate and sprinkled with biscuit crumbs. I loved the look of them.
