For the Milk Chocolate Ganache:

Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a cupcake tin with 16 liners. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press 1½ tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each liner. Bake for 6 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 2: Bake the Chocolate Cupcakes
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, oil, egg, and vanilla, then beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water and mix until smooth. Divide the batter evenly over the prepared crusts and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool, then hollow out the centers.
Step 3: Make the Marshmallow Filling
In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar over simmering water until sugar dissolves. Continue whisking until warm, then remove from heat and beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and mix well. Pipe the filling into the hollowed cupcakes and replace the tops.
Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
Melt chopped milk chocolate and vegetable oil in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and gradually add cold heavy cream, mixing until combined. Spread the ganache over the cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
