The technical challenge sparked outrage amongst US fans, with many unimpressed with judge Paul Hollywood's recipe for the classic American dessert.
One person tweeted: "I love #GBBO but I am so appalled by the #Smores challenge, I may never recover," while another added: "THIS SMORES CHALLENGE IS [AN] ABOMINATION. It's a graham cracker, not a digestive! Why are they circles? They're squares! I am so angry!"

A third viewer commented: "Wow #GBBO is doing Smores and this is the most dastardly British attack on America since the War of 1812," while another wrote: "I'm not sure what I just saw on #GBBO this week, but those were NOT smores. You're KILLING me, Paul Hollywood. #smores."
Other fans were just as appalled and criticised the ingredients, with one person tweeting: "Dear British people - You make s'mores with digestive biscuits?!? Where are the graham crackers??" while another added: "Who is working on the Great British Baking show this year? A s’more is NOT dark chocolate, a digestive biscuit, and Italian meringue. It's Hershey's milk chocolate, Graham crackers, and toasted/burnt marshmallows! I'm raging."

The complaints come after the same episode left UK fans shocked after fan favourite baker Janusz used crickets as an ingredient for his popcorn-shaped showstopper.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "He's put crickets in his bake.. OKAY #GBBO," while another added: "I still can't get over crickets in a cake … they're really gonna eat it."
A third commented: "So Janusz is using crickets in his bake… he does realise this is #GBBO and not #ImACeleb doesn't he?" while another agreed, tweeting: "I love Janusz but the crickets might be pushing it."
