By AprilPublished Who doesn't love the gooey goodness of a traditional s'more? The combination of melted chocolate and marshmallow sandwiched between two graham crackers is a classic campfire treat that never fails to satisfy our sweet tooth.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spray two 6-cavity doughnut pans with cooking spray, or you can bake them in two batches.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and cocoa mix. Whisk them together.
In a spouted measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them with a spatula until they are just combined.
Transfer the mixture to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and snip off one of the bottom corners. Alternatively, you can use a piping bag.
Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pans.
Bake the doughnuts for about 10 minutes or until they are puffed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the doughnuts cool in the pans on a wire rack.
To make the glaze:
In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, combine the chocolate chips and cream.
Heat the mixture until the chocolate chips are melted, which should take about 10 minutes.
Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth.
To assemble the doughnuts:
Place the crushed graham crackers in a shallow bowl.
Dip the tops of the doughnuts first into the glaze and then into the graham crackers

While you can find S'mores Doughnuts at select bakeries and specialty dessert shops, why not try making your own? Not only will you be able to customize the ingredients to your liking, but the process of creating these delectable treats can also be a fun and rewarding experience.
Start by making a batch of your favorite doughnut batter. Once the doughnuts are baked or fried to perfection, let them cool completely. While they are cooling, prepare the marshmallow filling by toasting marshmallows until they are golden brown and gooey. Then, carefully remove the top of each doughnut and fill the cavity with the toasted marshmallow. Finally, top the doughnuts with a generous layer of chocolate ganache and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top.
Voila! You now have your very own homemade S'mores Doughnuts ready to be devoured. Serve them fresh and warm for the ultimate indulgence, and watch as your friends and family marvel at your culinary skills.
While S'mores Doughnuts are undeniably delicious, they are also a decadent treat that should be enjoyed in moderation.

So, savor each bite and treat yourself to this heavenly delight without overindulging.
