Recipe: Inspired by the Graham Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting from Martha Stewart Cupcakes (unfortunately the recipe is not available online)
Modifications: I used a Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix for the cupcakes. The recipe originally calls for homemade graham flour based cupcakes but who has the time or $$$ to look for graham flour from a specialty store?? (Even though I *heart* Martha she is so impractical at times) The original cupcake is then suppose to be topped with a ganache and homemade marshmallow frosting. I omitted the ganache (I think Triple Chocolate Fudge is enough), but I did make the homemade marshmallow frosting. It's basically a gelatin based marshmallow recipe (make sure to add 1+ tsp of vanilla) that you QUICKLY pipe onto the cupcake before it starts to set-up (easier said than done). It's a pretty messy process, but totally worth it. After applying the frosting I stuck in a graham cracker stick and used my trusty kitchen blow torch for the browning.
"Free-form" Cupcake
I'm not sure which one I prefer

Caution: If you ever use the blow torch on a cupcake - turn the flame WAY low and use a sweeping motion from the top of the cupcake - not at a horizontal angle - or you will catch the cupcake liner on fire. I'm not kidding here . . .
