Oven Cupcake S'mores

We made these as part of our science class today (learning about heat energy with a fun treat) and they were yummy! I think next time we make them we'll put more chocolate in them. You could also use pieces of chocolate bars or whatever you want in place of the chocolate chips. We had extra graham cracker crumb mixture, so I froze it for another time, but you could easily just make more as well.
Ha! As I'm typing this I realized that we didn't even add the powdered sugar to the graham crackers. Oops! But they were still good, so I guess you can try it either way.

Oven Cupcake S'mores
15 graham crackers (whole rectangles)
3/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. powdered sugar, optional
1 c. (or more) chocolate chips, chocolate pieces, etc.
12 large marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Place graham crackers in a zip top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Pour into a medium bowl and add butter and powdered sugar. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Scoop the graham mixture into the cupcake liners, filling about halfway. Using your fingers, press the crumbs on the sides and bottom of the cups, forming a well in each one.

Bake the graham cracker crusts for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and place 20 (or more) chocolate chips in the center of each cup. Place a large marshmallow on top.

Return to the oven and bake for 3 minutes.

Remove from the oven and gently press the marshmallows with the back of a spoon so that they spread out and cover the chocolate completely. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before eating.

Yield: 12+ cupcake s'mores
