Cupcakes!

S'more Cupcakes that is!

Inspired by everyone's favorite girl scout camping treat, the first recorded version of the recipe for s'mores appears in the 1927 edition of the Girl Scout Handbook. I created these little nuggets using regular cake mix and mini marshmallows that were dropped into the bottom of the liner cups. After baking the cupcakes per the box directions and letting them cool I dipped each cake in a rich chocolate ganache and then sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs.

Yummy!

Oh, I think that my guests this weekend thought so too... I only have six left of the 48 that I baked!

Do you really need to ask why they call me a NERD?

Because I can win free drinks by outscoring YOU on an online trivia game!

That is why!

Yes, I outscored the owner of the restaurant that I ate lunch today, Hops & Barley and played a little Buzz Time... Then I see the magic words... win a free drink if you can outscore Presto! Presto's high score? 12,610.

15 Questions? 1000 points apiece... Yeah. I can do that. And I did.

Luckily many of the questions were food or history related. I breezed through the question about marscapone. I laughed out loud when I encountered the question about Karl Linne...

In the end?

13,002.

Enough for the cocktail of my choice! Naturally I picked one that has been the topic of the week at my house... Once I found that the kids all give each other virtual cocktails on Facebook, and my daughter has received several Sex on the Beaches.. I knew that was the cocktail for me.

Sorry for the bad picture of it. My glee made me giddy. Nothing tastes as good as free liquor!
