One of my favorite memories from camping as a kid was roasting marshmallows by the campfire and making s’mores. I just love the warmth and smell of a good campfire, plus the smell of roasted marshmallows is pretty great too.

I took that love of roasted marshmallows and campfires and turned it into a fantastic cupcake!
