When people spoke ill of Krave S’Mores petitions online, I “ Rickrolled” every single one of them. When kids complained to their mothers in the cereal aisle, I flipped over shopping carts to send a message. Krave in general has a dedicated camp who vocally dislike it, but as an equally vocal defender of the Krave brand, I felt the need to stand up for Krave S’Mores. Smorz fans everywhere treated Krave S’Mores like the brother-murdering, ugly Uncle Claudius of the cereal aisle. When Kellogg’s announced in 2013 that Smorz was being replaced by Krave S’Mores after 10 years as a fan favorite, tempers were more fiery than a misplaced campfire marshmallow. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.Of course, Smorz was resurrected this January through some happy cereal voodoo, but times were darker before then. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely.

Sprinkle one-third of the graham cracker mixture over the marshmallow cream. Using a lightly oiled offset spatula or spoon, spread one-third of the marshmallow cream on top, stopping about 1 inch from the edge (if the marshmallow cream is difficult to spread, microwave 10 to 15 seconds to soften). Assemble the cake as close to serving time as possible: Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice each cake layer in half horizontally. Bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes let cool. Toss the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and salt in a bowl until combined. Meanwhile, make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the bowl from the pan and set aside until the ganache is cool and thick but still pourable, about 1 hour. ![]() Make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream, chocolate and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the ganache is smooth.
