If summer nights around a crackling campfire are your vibe, then this S’mores Crack is about to become your new go-to treat! Imagine all the gooey, chocolatey, toasty marshmallow goodness of classic s’mores, but with a delightful toffee twist—and totally fuss-free to make. Whether you’re hosting a party, need a sweet gift, or just want to indulge at home, this irresistible S’mores Crack delivers layers of crunch, caramel, and melty chocolate that absolutely beg to be shared (if you can resist eating it all yourself).

Ingredients You’ll Need

What I love about S’mores Crack is how a handful of pantry staples come together to create something completely magical. Each ingredient here is essential, playing its unique role in giving you that signature taste and texture: perfectly crunchy, lusciously gooey, and decadently rich.

Graham crackers: These build the crisp foundation and deliver the familiar “campfire” flavor that makes s’mores irresistible.
Salted butter: The butter adds rich flavor while balancing sweetness; using salted butter also enhances the overall depth of each bite.
Light brown sugar: Pairing this with the butter creates that dreamy homemade toffee, adding a subtle caramel note that takes this treat to the next level.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: Their deep chocolate flavor melts beautifully over the toffee for a lush, glossy layer that holds it all together.
Mini marshmallows: The signature finishing touch—these toast to golden perfection, delivering sticky, sweet goodness in every bite.

How to Make S’mores Crack

Step 1: Prep the Baking Sheet and Layer the Graham Crackers

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). For the sake of easy cleanup (and trust me, you’ll appreciate this later!), line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, making sure the lining covers the sides. Arrange the graham crackers in a single, solid layer across the bottom—break them as needed to create total coverage. This tidy foundation sets the stage for all the tasty layers to come.

Step 2: Cook Up the Toffee Layer

Grab a medium saucepan and get ready for some stovetop magic. Melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, set your timer for 3-4 minutes, and keep stirring. Watch as it thickens and turns a glossy caramel color—this is your cue for seriously rich flavor. The toffee will be hot and bubbly, but that’s exactly what we want!

Step 3: Pour and Bake the Toffee

Carefully pour the hot toffee sauce right over your graham crackers. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, making sure every edge is covered. Into the oven it goes for 5-7 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the toffee layer is bubbling and your kitchen starts to smell amazing—just be careful not to let it burn.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate and Marshmallows

This is where S’mores Crack gets its wow-factor! The moment you pull the hot toffee crackers from the oven, immediately sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Let them sit for a minute or two to melt in the heat, then gently smooth the chocolate into a dreamy, even layer. Now, shower the top with mini marshmallows for the ultimate s’mores experience.

Step 5: Toast and Finish

Set your oven to broil (keep a close eye!) and pop the baking sheet back in just for 1-2 minutes. Watch as the marshmallows puff up and turn beautifully golden brown—this happens fast, so don’t stray! Once they reach that perfect toasted color, take them out and let the entire pan cool and set completely. Now, simply break into rustic pieces and enjoy the magic of S’mores Crack.

How to Serve S’mores Crack

Garnishes

S’mores Crack is already a showstopper, but if you really want to take it over the top, try dusting with a little flaky sea salt, a drizzle of melted dark chocolate, or even a few crushed graham cracker crumbs on top after toasting the marshmallows. It adds extra texture and those special finishing touches that make each bite memorable.

Side Dishes

This sweet treat pairs wonderfully alongside a mug of hot cocoa, a scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream, or even some fresh berries if you’re looking to balance the richness. For a summer cookout, set out a tray of S’mores Crack beside a bowl of mixed fruit to add a sweet-and-fresh variety to your dessert table.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties or gifts, wrap several pieces in clear cellophane bags tied with ribbon, or stack them in a mason jar for a rustic treat. At gatherings, arrange S’mores Crack pieces on a wooden platter, paired with clusters of roasted nuts or more gourmet chocolates for a fun, crowd-pleasing dessert board.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once your S’mores Crack has cooled and been broken into pieces, keep the leftovers fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay deliciously crisp for up to a week, making them perfect for sharing—or sneaking when those cravings hit!

Freezing

Want to make a big batch ahead of time? Absolutely! S’mores Crack freezes surprisingly well. Place the cooled, broken pieces in a freezer-safe container, layering parchment between them to prevent sticking. They’ll keep for up to two months; just thaw at room temperature before serving.

Reheating

If you love the idea of serving S’mores Crack warm and gooey, pop a piece or two in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds—just until the chocolate and marshmallows soften again. It brings back that freshly-made texture without needing a campfire.

FAQs

Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted?

Absolutely! If you have only unsalted butter, simply add a small pinch of salt to your toffee mixture. The salt enhances flavor and helps balance the sweetness in this S’mores Crack recipe.

What if I can’t find mini marshmallows?

No worries—you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces, or even use marshmallow fluff in a pinch. Just spread it over the chocolate layer and broil briefly until toasty.

Can I add other toppings or mix-ins?

Definitely! Get creative by sprinkling on chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or even a pinch of cinnamon over the chocolate before adding the marshmallows. S’mores Crack is super versatile, so make it your own.

Why does my toffee layer sometimes turn out grainy?

Grainy toffee usually happens if the sugar doesn’t fully dissolve or if the mixture cooks too fast. Be sure to melt the butter and sugar together slowly, stir continuously, and aim for a smooth caramel color before pouring over your graham crackers.

Can I make S’mores Crack gluten-free?

Yes! Just substitute gluten-free graham crackers. The other ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy this irresistible treat.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s pure nostalgia in every bite, S’mores Crack is simply unbeatable. Trust me, the combination of buttery toffee, crunchy graham crackers, melty chocolate, and toasted marshmallows is absolutely addictive. Give this recipe a try and get ready to fall in love—there won’t be a crumb left behind!
