Chocolate S’mores Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache Frosting (Video)

We’ve probably discussed at length alllll the desserts I just ‘can’t live without’ (aka, pretty much everything involving chocolate), but…

I really don’t think I could live in a world without s’mores.

It’s one of those situations where if a s’more is present (or a s’more flavored dessert, like these Chocolate Chip S’mores Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches or No Bake S’mores Trifles), resistance is futile.

I’d love to say I’m exaggerating, but if we’re ever at a bonfire together and you can’t me, I’m probably at the s’mores table (or roasting my ‘mallow to golden perfection) eating my weight in chocolate, marshmallows, and grahams.

Something else I could definitely eat my weight in?

These Chocolate S’mores Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache Frosting (umm, chocolate ganache frosting is KILLER).
