I found these cupcakes on Pinterest by delish.com.  Unusual for me, I followed their directions exactly (except for doubling the recipe for the crowd that I was expecting).  Here is what my version looked like!

My guests were pleased, and so was I.

These campfire cupcakes are so easy to make! If you have a little helper to assemble them, it will be even more fun.
