S’MORES ICEBOX CAKE 🔥 Every bit as gooey and decad S’MORES ICEBOX CAKE 🔥 Every bit as gooey and decadent as it seems and I am blown away at how EASY this recipe is! It’s layers of graham crackers, chocolate ganache, and homemade marshmallow creme, piled high in a loaf pan and refrigerated overnight. The graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture and transform this dessert into the easiest s’mores cake ever.
