More S'mores Please... « Jen Loves Kev. I love S’mores.

I decided to make some easy oven baked s’mores to kick off the first bbq of the season. Easiest dessert ever. 1. Homemade pop tarts. I never had a Pop-Tart until college.
I realize that for some people this may cause a shocked reaction on par with my husband’s the time I told him I’ve never watched Goonies before (or Jacob’s, upon discovering the internet). Obviously I grew up under a rock, right?

They are just the sweetest things ever. Hope you’ll enjoy this naughty snack that’s good enough to eat by the spoonful! Black-Bottom Cupcakes. It is seriously beyond me how I have never made these before.
Especially considering they’re a hybrid of my two favorite sweets – chocolate and cheesecake, and honestly there’s really no way anything made of chocolate and cheesecake can be anything but spectacular. These cupcakes are no exception, as they take a super moist and intensely chocolate devil’s food cake and drop a cheesecake filling with chunks of bittersweet chocolate right in the middle.

I was sitting outside for a bit while these were in the oven and when I came back into the house it smelled like I could lick chocolate off the walls – the aroma wafting from the oven completely permeated the house.

They are super scrumptious and I encourage you to try them out yourself and see how long they last in your house!
