For the Milk Chocolate Ganache:

Preparation:
Step 1: Make 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 let cool completely.
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, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until smooth. Divide the batter evenly over the crusts and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool, then hollow out the centers.
Step 3: Prepare 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: Make the Ganache Topping
Heat chopped milk chocolate and oil in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in cold heavy cream until combined. Spread the ganache over the cupcakes and refrigerate until set.
