The S'More or Less Bakerella entry mimics the style of classic campfire snacks. While it is similar to [sticky s'mores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-smores-cake), the blog has reinterpreted them here by casting them in cupcake form.

The mixture of graham crackers with marshmallows and chocolate has been taken to the next level here. These small treats merge these ingredients with fluffy batter, all of which come together via the [bite-sized dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupcake-bites).

Final touch comes from a layer of chocolate icing that is then [topped with marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smore-speckled-marshmallow), making them the ultimate camping snack. And though they have been made in the image of overnight trips, they are nonetheless appropriate for anyone wishing to take on a gooey in-kitchen cooking project.
