S’more Cupcakes for the Fourth

This recipe is perfect for the Fourth of July or any summer cookout! We tested this recipe out the other night and brought them down the shell path to the Hollister’s house for a cookout…there wasn’t a crumb left! This recipe has been tested and approved! Nantucket is expecting a wet and rainy Fourth of July, so these are perfect because we can’t have a bonfire and roast marshmallows outside in the rain.

I felt like I was on Cupcake Wars while I was making these cupcakes! There are quite a few steps but they are all worth it in the end! I hope you give them a try!

You got straight A’s AND won Best Dressed in high school!

You make everyone feel so special.  (Like when you cried when Emily was trying on wedding dresses!)Carolinebday7You have such a good head on your shoulders.  Thank you for always being the best sounding board and giving such good advice.  You are always there when we need you!Carolinebday3
