National S’mores Day, August 10th, is not a holiday to take lightly. I’m bringing you sweatpants-necessary s’mores brownie cupcakes complete with a toasty marshmallow topping because it’s not a s’more unless it’s toasty.

Everything we love about s’mores in cupcake form Easier to make than you think Ultra decadent and chocolatey dessert recipe Made using my chewy fudgy frosted brownies batter Topped with homemade marshmallow creme Great for summer potlucks, picnics, and BBQs Always a crowd pleaser!
3 Parts to S’mores Brownie Cupcakes
While they may look daunting, today’s s’mores brownie cupcakes combine 3 simple recipes in a brand new way. Let’s review each component. Photos to guide you along: If you have a double boiler, you can use that for the marshmallow meringue instead of this bowl + pot contraption. This is a photo of the egg whites + sugar + cream of tartar whisked together over simmering water on the stovetop. Beaten together to form stiff peaks, just like homemade marshmallow creme!
Decorating S’mores Brownie Cupcakes
I used the Ateco #808 piping tip to pipe the marshmallow meringue frosting onto each cupcake. I really wanted it piled high on top of each! You can use any piping tip you like, or just swirl it on nice and thick with a knife. I wouldn’t use a piping tip that displays intricate designs though—the marshmallow may not hold its shape. For that quintessential s’mores flavor, whip out your kitchen torch to toast the tops. Don’t stick the frosting under the broiler—it can easily lose its shape. But a quick flash from the torch does the toasting trick! If you wish to purchase a torch, you’ll definitely use it again when you make brownie baked Alaska and chai pumpkin meringue pie. If you want to skip the piping and use your oven instead of kitchen torch, try this s’mores brownie pie with store bought marshmallows instead. You can make every day National S’mores Day with all the s’mores recipe possibilities! Might I recommend trying these s’mores rice krispie treats next?
