S’mores Buttercream Frosting combines delicious frosting with the taste of s’mores!
About five seconds ago I ate some of this straight out of the container in my fridge. It’s that good. Though, I suppose that if you are a more civilized human being, you could do something like put it on some vanilla cupcakes. Or make a graham cracker sandwich with it.
Graham cracker sandwiches with frosting was one of my favorite treats when I was younger. And seriously what frosting is better to stick between two graham crackers than s’mores frosting!

How to Make S’mores Frosting
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious recipe. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Combine the butter, melted chocolate, and melted marshmallows. Beat this together until it is smooth and combined.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream.
- Add in the powdered sugar. It is helpful to add these one cup at a time, scraping down the mixing bowl as you go. Beat for an additional two minutes once all the sugar has been added.
Melting Marshmallows
Measure out 1/2 a cup of mini marshmallows. Then put them in a microwave safe bowl and cover. Place in the microwave and melt in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.
How to Use
As mentioned above, I love this just between two graham crackers for that full s’mores taste. But this is also delicious on chocolate or vanilla cupcakes!

Hi. I used a devils food cake mix. I crmbled the Graham crackers and put them in the butter cream frosting, then i put the mini marshmallows under the broiler to look toasted. After frosting the cake i added the marshmallows and chocolate chips on top.
Sounds amazing, I hope you loved it!
