• 10 oz. milk chocolate, finely chopped

Directions:

To make the crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and place a rack in the center of the oven. Then line cupcake tins with 16 cupcake liners and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well with a fork. Then put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and bake for 6 minutes. Set it to cool aside.

To make the cupcakes:

3. In a bowl, combine cocoa, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add oil, milk, egg, and vanilla to the mixture. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Then add boiling water and beat again to combine.

4. Divide the batter equally between cupcake liners, and pour over the crust. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, set aside to cool in pan, and then use a sharp knife to hollow out the centers of each cupcake.

To make the marshmallow filling:

5. Whisk together egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water until the sugar dissolves. Continue to whisk over the simmering water until the egg mixture is warm. Remove from the heat and continue beating until still peaks form. Then add vanilla and mix well.

6. Put the filling into a piping bag with a round tip, then cut off the corner and fill the cupcakes. Place the tops back to the centers of the cupcakes.

To make the ganache:

7. In a small saucepan, melt chopped milk chocolate with 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil over low heat. Stir well until it is completely smooth. Then remove the mixture from the heat and add cold heavy whipping cream. Stir well until it is well mixed.

8. Spread the ganache onto the cupcake using a spoon, store in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
