How to Make Smores Crack with Minimal Effort

Step 1: Prepare Baking Surface

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange graham crackers edge to edge across entire pan surface, breaking pieces to fill any gaps.

Step 2: Create Caramel Magic

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir continuously. Cook mixture until it transforms into smooth, bubbly golden liquid about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Coat Graham Cracker Base

Pour hot caramel evenly across graham crackers. Use spatula to spread liquid completely to pan edges, ensuring total coverage.

Step 4: Bake Caramel Layer

Slide pan into oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes until toffee looks golden and bubbling around edges.

Step 5: Chocolate Layer Launch

Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle chocolate chips generously across hot toffee surface. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt chocolate completely.

Step 6: Marshmallow Crown

Remove pan and immediately scatter mini marshmallows across melted chocolate layer. Return to oven for 2 minutes until marshmallows turn golden and puffy.

Step 7: Chill and Slice

Allow dessert to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes. Cut into irregular chunks or break apart with hands. Serve and watch everyone devour!

Pro Tips for Making Smores Crack That Doesn’t Stick

  • Prevent Sticking: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat for easy removal and cleanup, ensuring your S'mores Crack doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Control Caramel Consistency: Watch the caramel mixture closely while simmering, stirring constantly to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, golden texture that coats the graham crackers evenly.
  • Chocolate Melting Hack: Remove the pan from the oven and gently spread the melted chocolate chips with a spatula to create an even layer that covers all the graham crackers perfectly.
  • Marshmallow Browning Technique: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while broiling to achieve a golden-brown color without burning, rotating the pan if needed for even toasting.
  • Storing and Serving Tip: Store the S'mores Crack in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Store Your Smores Crack It Stays Fresh

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep chilled for up to 5 days.
  • Allow treats to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance flavor.
  • Warm gently in microwave for 8-10 seconds or place in preheated oven at 200F for 2-3 minutes until marshmallows become soft and chocolate slightly melts.
  • Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, then store in freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for best texture.

What Goes Well with Smores Crack

  • Blend creamy vanilla ice cream with cold whole milk and a splash of marshmallow syrup to complement the rich, sweet s'mores flavors.
  • Brew a strong dark roast or espresso that cuts through the sweetness and enhances the caramel and chocolate notes of the dessert.
  • Select a fruity, light-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir to balance the sugary treat with subtle tannin complexity.
  • Pour a cold, slightly tart apple cider that provides a bright, refreshing contrast to the dense, sweet s'mores crack.

New Add-Ons to Try in Your Smores Crack

  • Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Alternative: Replace traditional graham crackers with gluten-free graham-style crackers or almond flour crackers for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • Vegan Marshmallow Option: Swap traditional marshmallows with plant-based marshmallows made from tapioca syrup and use dairy-free chocolate chips to create a completely vegan-friendly version.
  • Nutty Chocolate Variation: Sprinkle chopped almonds or pecans over the chocolate layer before adding marshmallows to introduce a crunchy texture and enhance the flavor profile.
  • Low-Sugar Modification: Use sugar-free chocolate chips, monk fruit sweetener instead of brown sugar, and sugar-free marshmallows to create a diabetes-friendly or low-carb alternative.

Campfire magic meets dessert perfection in this s’mores crack recipe that blends graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow into an irresistible sweet treat. Cool summer nights or winter gatherings become sweeter when you break apart these addictive chocolate-covered graham cracker pieces.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 10 full-size graham crackers
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Binding Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) salted butter
  • 1 cup (220 grams) packed light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, carefully fitting them to cover the entire surface.
  2. Craft a rich caramel sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, then incorporate brown sugar and simmer until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy liquid.
  3. Generously drench the graham cracker base with the molten caramel, ensuring complete and even coverage using a flexible spatula.
  4. Transfer the caramel-coated crackers to a preheated 350F (175C) oven, allowing the toffee to bubble and develop a golden hue for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Immediately scatter chocolate chips across the hot toffee surface, returning the pan to the oven briefly to encourage complete chocolate melting.
  6. Distribute mini marshmallows over the now-melted chocolate layer, returning to the oven to achieve a delicate golden-brown toast on the marshmallows.
  7. Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify the layers.
  8. Once thoroughly chilled, fragment the creation into rustic, bite-sized pieces ready for indulgence.

Notes

  • Adjust graham cracker base by using gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version, ensuring everyone can enjoy this sweet treat.
  • Control caramel’s consistency by stirring constantly and watching the temperature to prevent burning, which can create a bitter taste.
