DD and I made these as part of our Father's Day breakfast this morning. We used Greek yogurt and mini chocolate chips (I always use mini morsels when baking muffins, cakes and cupcakes - they are less likely to sink to the bottom when baking) Just like you stated, they don't taste like a s'more, but they were very good. Word of advise, spray the muffin tin and don't use paper cupcake liners. They will stick! But they are scrap the bottom of the liner good. ;0) Update- I had to make another batch of these but all I had on hand was blueberry fruit on the bottom greek yogurt and baking blend margarine. Pulled the blueberries out and added a couple of spoonfuls of reduced fat sour cream to get the amount needed and left out extra salt. Still turned out terrific!!

I don't know what a S'more is but these were lovely little cupcakes. My 4 year old especially enjoyed them.

My family members either liked it or found it a little strange-tasting. Texture was very moist and sticky, perhaps because of the marshmallows. Maybe it is my yogurt, so I may make again and revise my rating. Thank you for posting.

I would agree with another person that said these didn't taste like smores but more like choc. chip muffins. I was a bit dissapointed because all the marshmallows rise to the top and the choc. chips sink to the bottom. They tasted good but just not like I expected them to.I realized after I had already started making these I didn't have vanilla yogurt so I just omited the yogurt and increased the milk to 1 cup. Worked out just fine. They were very moist. I baked them at 350' for about 17-18 minutes and they were perfect. They were kid friendly too. Thank's!

I thought they were good. The family enjoyed them. I got 16 muffins. The 20 minute cooking time was too long, I will test them after 15 minutes if I make them again.
