Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick melted)

Cupcake:

  • 15 oz devil’s Food chocolate cake mix (1 box)
  • 3.9 oz chocolate instant pudding (1 package)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • ½ cups vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Frosting:

  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 7 oz marshmallow fluff (1 container)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line cupcake pan with heavy duty liners. Aluminum liners work best for this recipe.

Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted, unsalted, butter. Mix well until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Spoon a small amount of the crumb mixture into each of the cupcake liners so that once it’s been firmly pressed down, the crust is about ⅛ to ¼ inches thick.

Cupcake:

  • Prepare the cupcake batter. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, instant pudding mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, salt, and almond extract until combined.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, top each of the crusts with cupcake batter. 
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.

Frosting:

  • While cupcakes are baking/cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl and using a stand or hand mixer cream butter.
  • Add confectioner’s sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract, and beat together until combined. The frosting will be thick.
  • Once cupcakes have cooled, use a piping bag to top each cupcake with frosting.
  • Garnish with left-over graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips then serve and enjoy.

Notes

Baking Tip: You can substitute brown sugar or stevia for the sugar.
