Ingredients
Scale
- 10 graham crackers (full-size)
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (100 g) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (226 g / 2 sticks) salted butter
- 1 cup (220 g) packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and meticulously arrange graham crackers to form a seamless base covering the entire surface.
- Caramel Creation: In a saucepan, transform butter and brown sugar into a luxurious, glossy caramel sauce through careful simmering and constant stirring until the mixture reaches a rich, amber consistency.
- Initial Baking: Lavishly coat graham crackers with the molten caramel, ensuring uniform coverage, then bake in a preheated 350F (175C) oven for 5-7 minutes until the toffee bubbles and develops a golden-brown complexion.
- Chocolate Layer: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee surface, returning to the oven momentarily to facilitate complete melting, creating a smooth chocolate blanket.
- Marshmallow Finale: Generously scatter mini marshmallows across the melted chocolate, then briefly return to the oven to achieve a delicately toasted, golden-brown exterior.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify the intricate layers and enhance structural integrity.
- Serving: Fragment the chilled confection into rustic, bite-sized pieces, ready for ultimate indulgence and sharing.
Notes
- Perfect Caramel Consistency: Watch the butter and brown sugar carefully while simmering to prevent burning, stirring constantly and aiming for a rich amber color without scorching.
- Even Chocolate Melting: Remove the pan from the oven when chocolate chips look glossy and slightly softened, then gently spread with a spatula to ensure uniform coverage across graham crackers.
- Marshmallow Toasting Technique: Keep a close eye during the final broiling stage, rotating the pan if needed to achieve an evenly golden-brown marshmallow surface without burning.
- Storage and Preservation: Store the S’mores Crack in an airtight container between parchment layers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing the layers to set and flavors to meld together perfectly.
