Graham Cracker Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp. white sugar
Chocolate Chip Cupcakes:
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp. butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup chocolate chips
Additional Ingredient:
24 standard-size marshmallows
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pan with paper liners. Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar until well blended. Place 2 teaspoons of this mixture in the bottom of each liner and press down until firm. Bake 3-5 minutes or until a golden brown crust has formed in each liner. Remove from oven and let cool.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder into a medium size bowl. Set Aside.
In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Add in flour mixture and milk, alternating until both are completely mixed into the batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon a heaping teaspoon-full of batter into each liner. Place a marshmallow sideways in the center of each liner (if you have a Cupcake Surprise Pan simply skewer a marshmallow sideways onto the prong). Use a spoon to scoop more batter on top of the marshmallows until they are covered and no white shows through. They will be more than 2/3 full.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes at 350 degrees until the marshmallow peeking through has a nice golden brown color. Let cook for 5 more minutes in the pan before removing to a cooling rack.
*Best served warm.
