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!

Lisa Thomas says
Hello – I can’t wait to try this. Just wondering: when you say “1 cup melted chocolate” do you mean melted chocolate chips or Hershey bars or unsweetened chocolate. I notice there is plenty of sugar so should the chocolate be sweetened or un? Thanks SO much!
Hi Lisa, I used milk chocolate chips. I hope you like it!
Briana says
Hi,
I was wondering what specific cream you were referring to in the recipe?
Heavy Cream :)
Christy says
Hello! This looks absolutely delicious! Would the frosting stay if it wasn’t refrigerated after I pipe it onto cupcakes? I’m looking to use this recipe for cupcakes for Tuesday, but I need to make and package the cupcakes on Sunday. Thanks so much!
Christy, sorry, I didn’t get back to you sooner! I don’t know that the frosting will stay for three days unrefrigerated. :/
