Red Velvet S'more Cupcakes - you are welcome!

Okay - I was just in the exercise room, walking very quickly on the treadmilll.  While I was doing this I was reading my February issue of REDBOOK magazine.  In the magazine, towards the back this recipe is what I found - YUM.  Good thing I worked out if I have to make and sample these!

1 1/2 tbsp. red food coloring
