S'mores Cups
From One Pan and Done [1] by Molly Gilbert
Notes
These little cups will have everyone begging for s’more. (Sorry. Had to.) They start with a graham cracker-infused short dough, which gets layered with marshmallow creme, bittersweet chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to temper the sweetness. Traditional? Not so much. Playful and delicious? Bad puns and all, you bet.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the tins
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely processed graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup marshmallow crème (I like Fluff)
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the center position. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and egg.
- In a smaller bowl, stir together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture and mix gently until just combined.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of the dough and set aside for the topping. Press the remainder evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about one-fourth full.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the marshmallow crème over each cup, then top with a sprinkle of chocolate chips, dividing them evenly among the cups. Crumble the reserved dough over the chocolate chips, and top each cup with a pinch of sea salt.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until the marshmallow crème is puffed and the dough is deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Allow the cups to cool slightly before running a paring knife around the edges of each one to pop out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
