Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Spoon about one tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each cupcake liner and press it down with the back of a spoon or a small glass to form a crust.
Bake the graham cracker crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes and then remove them to cool while preparing the cupcake batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until smooth.
Carefully stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the chocolate batter, over the baked crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cupcakes cool, make the marshmallow frosting by beating together the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and softened butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag to frost each cupcake with the marshmallow frosting.
Optional: Garnish each cupcake with a sprinkle of mini marshmallows and a piece of milk chocolate.
Use a kitchen torch to carefully toast the frosting and mini marshmallows until golden brown for that classic s'mores flavor. Serve and enjoy!
