Chocolate Pumpkin S’mores Muffins

I almost want to call these cupcakes. How about Muffcakes?

I think it should be a new thing.

like, “Hey, I baked you some muffcakes!”

Maybe?

I totally think it could fly.

Anyway, regardless of the name, these are amazing! I think pumpkin needs to be in every muffin recipe ever. It really gives them a softness that you can’t get with anything else. Add chocolate to the mix, bake it over some crushed  graham crackers(that end up becoming part of the muffin) and top it with a handful of torched mallows and you have got yourself a serious breakfast treat.

This recipe makes the most fantastic muffin tops as well.

Don’t you love a muffin that puffs up perfectly on top and cracks just a bit?

Boy, I sure do.

I hope all of you love this fun fall take on a S’more!
