The Results
My rating of this recipe is 5 out of 5, with my added ganache filling. I thought cupcake needed more of a gooey filling to emulate S’mores.
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- put chocolate in a heatproof bowl
- heat cream until just simmering
- pour cream over chocolate and let rest for 5 min
- stir until smooth
I made small hole in cupcakes and added a tablespoon of the chocolate ganache into each cupcake.
I used my small torch to toast the marshmallow, much easier then the oven.
I choose to top with a piece of graham cracker and a Fannie May S’mores chocolate.
