Star Spangled Cupcakes

The beau and I decided to go to a 4th of July pool party/cookout at the last  minute and I just had to bring something,you can't show up to a party empty handed! Of course, that meant I had to find time to bake cupcakes and they had to be fast and easy...but also appropriately themed. BBQ...4th of July....SMORE'S! Perfect. I used pre-boxed Graham cracker crumbs, added a touch of melted butter for the bottom layer. A delicious dark chocolate cake for the middle layer and for icing...a simple meringue. These babies were amazing! For the kiddos who I were not sure would appreciate the meringue I also added some butter to that meringue to make a simple SMBC icing. 

I was so rushed on these, that I didn't even have time for my normal photo op...so don't  mind the cake carrier.
