What Exactly IS a Smore?
A smore is a traditional campfire treat, that’s especially popular in North America. It consists of a thick piece of chocolate and large marshmallow, melted and sandwiched between two graham crackers. It is most commonly prepared and melted over a bonfire, which is why it has been popularized as THE ultimate campfire treat.
Why is it Called a “Smore?”
The smore can actually also be spelled as: “s’more” because it is a contraction of the phrase “some more.” It is believed that when scouts would eat this traditional campfire treat, they would always ask for “some more!” because it was so delicious.
The dessert has been found in cookbooks as early as 1920, but referred to as a “Graham Cracker Sandwich” instead.

Be Sure to Use an Electric Mixer
The first step to making my Crockpot Smores is to whip-up the cake batter. I recommend using a stand electric mixer, but a hand mixer will work fine as well.
An electric mixer will ensure that all ingredients are well-combined, and that the sugar is properly dissolved.
Make Sure Your Crockpot Smores Don’t Stick
Don’t forget to spray the inside of your Crockpot with cooking oil spray! This will ensure that your smores cake doesn’t stick, and comes out easily from your slow cooker so that it is ready for serving!

Crockpot Smores Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2/3 cups cocoa
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 sleeve graham crackers crushed
- 1 bottle Hershey's hot fudge syrup
- 1 package mini marshmallows
- Cooking spray oil
Instructions
- Turn the Crock Pot on high, and place the lid on top to let it warm up.
- In a bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa, and mix well to blend.
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter, and blend on low speed for about 1 – 2 minutes.
- When all ingredients are combined, and sugar is dissolved, add the flour mixture a little at a time, blending between additions, and mixing all ingredients until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, and blend again.
- Spray the inside of the Crock Pot with the cooking oil spray, and pour the cake batter into the Crock Pot. Place the lid on the Crock Pot, and allow 1 hour for the cake to bake.
- After an hour, check the cake, but inserting a toothpick in the center, and making sure it comes out clean.
- When the cake is done, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers all over the top of the cake. Drizzle the chocolate fudge syrup all over the graham cracker crumbs, and pour the mini marshmallows on top, and add a generous amount of syrup, drizzled on the marshmallows. Place the lid back on the Crock Pot, turn the heat to low, and let the cake sit until the marshmallows have melted, about 15 – 20 minutes.
- When the marshmallows have melted, drizzle a little more chocolate syrup on top, and serve in individual bowls, or on dessert plates. Enjoy!
