S’mores are a fan favorite – a delightfully gooey combination of chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and graham crackers. They are already perfect in their campfire version, but I’ve made them even more perfect in this S’mores Toffee recipe.
S’mores are fun to eat fireside, blended into a frozen custard, made into S’mores Pie, cookies, incorporated in cheesecake and brownies, and Hot Chocolate Bombs. Now, as a toffee, you have one way more way to get your s’mores fix.
S’mores Toffee is quick and easy to make, and you can make a whole pan of them to feed a crowd, even if that crowd is just your family! They’re simple enough that everyone will love them, but unique enough that everyone will be amazed.
