S'mores Christmas Crack with graham crackers has all the deliciousness of s'mores wrapped up in a Christmas Crack package. Chocolate, marshmallows, toffee, and graham crackers combine to make this deliciously crunchy & addictive snack. Great for holiday gifts too!
OMG! I wish I had thought of this years ago! You won't believe how delicious this S'mores Graham Cracker Toffee is! It combines all the things you love about s'mores with all the things you love about Christmas crack.
I was working on baking up all my Christmas cookies, like my favorite Chocolate Chip Macaroon Cookies and Peppermint KissThumbprint Cookies, to give to friends and neighbors for Christmas and thought it would be fun to experiment with something that was totally new. Enter my secret addiction to s'mores! (shhh, don't tell anyone)
I love how the chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers in s'mores always come together so deliciously. In this graham cracker toffee recipe, the graham crackers were a sturdy base, the toffee layer brought the crunch, and the marshmallows and chocolate melted into a smooth, rich finish.
Yep, this S'mores Christmas Crack is all it's cracked up to be! (sorry, couldn't help myself!) Oh, and did I mention how easy this crack candy recipe is to make! All you need are 5 ingredients, a stovetop, a cookie sheet, and some colorful sprinkles. That's it!

Frequently asked questions
Well, mine doesn't hang around very long but it will keep, in an airtight container, for 1-2 weeks at room temperature (cool place). It can be kept longer, at least 2-3 months, in the refrigerator.
Yes, you can actually freeze this bark. Just break it apart then place it in an airtight container in the freezer. Bring to room temperature prior to serving.
Once the bark has cooled sufficiently just use your hands to break it into pieces. I like to put mine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more to harden the chocolate then proceed to break it apart.
How to Make Christmas Crack Toffee
- Line a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with graham crackers.
- Place butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan.

- Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over hot toffee.
- Let the chips and marshmallows sit 3-5 minutes then spread it evenly over entire surface.

You'll find this S'mores Christmas Crack Toffee is just as dangerous and addictive as the original. Enjoy!
Variations
- Make Christmas crack toffee with saltines, club crackers or Ritz
- Change out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips and make a White Chocolate Christmas Crack. It makes the sprinkles really shine.
