These s'mores pumpkin cupcakes are the perfect Thanksgiving dessert as they combine two typically autumnal desserts/flavors. From How Sweet It Is, the Pumpkin S'mores Cupcakes feature a graham crust, pumpkin spice cake, fudge ganache filling for the melted chocolate portion and marshmallow frosting. This fall flavored treat will be a hit at any and all Thanksgiving dinners you attend, not to mention any autumn birthdays.
This dessert will appeal to two types of people (you know, in addition to anyone with functioning taste buds): those obsessed with pumpkin spiced everything and s'mores lovers (read: all of humanity). The best part is likely the hidden chocolate surprise in the center. You can even torch the marshmallow and top with added graham cracker crumbs.
