S'Mores Cupcakes

Sorry, no picture. 

This was another recipe form 

Cuisine At Home

magazine. 

They don't post their recipes on line so again, no link.

Sorry.

I have found quite a few recipes from this publication

 so I need to be sure to let my sister know that 

should she ever decide to stop her subscription 

to give me the heads up so I can get my own. 

Till then, thanks, Gaye!

This recipe was interesting on a couple of fronts. 

To make a really "graham cracker" cupcake

the recipe calls for you to pulverize graham crackers to dust

and then use said dust as the "flour." 

Interesting, huh?

The other fun thing and the point in my story is the 

marshmallow you make from scratch to top the 

cupcakes with and then toast. 

Toast.

Therein lies the problem.

I went in search of a culinary torch, you know, like a

blow torch but smaller. 

None were to be found except for one at 

Williams Sonoma. 

For $40. 

Um, no. 

The sales lady asked me what I was making and when I 

told her she asked if it was from 

Cuisine At Home magazine and that

I was the third person in there looking for a torch 

for the same recipe. 

That's funny but here's part two of that story;

two of the gals who work there and I put our

heads together and decided that people used their broilers

to brown the tops of things before they started bringing

apparatus in from the garage. 

Um, no. 

It just melts the marshmallow down into a flat disc

on top of your now melted ganache. 

Hence, no photo. 

PS, they did taste good. :o)
