Camping Desserts

Camping desserts are a delicious way to end your outdoor adventures on a sweet note. Here are some popular camping dessert ideas that are easy to make and enjoyable for everyone:

1. S’mores: The classic camping dessert! Roast marshmallows over the campfire and sandwich them between graham crackers with a piece of chocolate. The heat from the melted marshmallows will create a gooey, chocolatey delight. For a spin on this classic recipe check out our blog S’mores Nachos.
2. Campfire Banana Boats: Slice a banana lengthwise, leaving the peel intact. Stuff the banana with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and any other desired toppings. Wrap it in aluminum foil and place it in the campfire coals for a few minutes until the chocolate and marshmallows melt. For more details check out our blog Banana Boats.
3. Dutch Oven Cobbler: Prepare your favorite fruit cobbler by layering fruit (such as peaches, berries, or apples) in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Top it with a mixture of biscuit dough and sugar. Cover the Dutch oven and place it over the campfire, cooking until the fruit is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
4. Grilled Fruit Skewers: Thread chunks of your favorite fruits, such as pineapple, mango, strawberries, or peaches, onto skewers. Grill the skewers over the campfire until the fruits are caramelized and slightly charred. Serve them with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.
5. Campfire Cones: Fill sugar cones with a mixture of chocolate chips, marshmallows, and any other desired fillings, such as nuts or fruit. Wrap the cones in aluminum foil and place them over the campfire until the chocolate and marshmallows melt. Unwrap and enjoy the gooey goodness.
6. Campfire Popcorn: Pop some popcorn over the campfire using a popcorn popper or by placing popcorn kernels in a foil packet and holding it over the fire. Once popped, season the popcorn with your favorite toppings, such as melted butter, cinnamon, or powdered cheese.
7. Campfire Cinnamon Rolls: Wrap refrigerated cinnamon roll dough around a skewer or roasting stick. Hold the dough over the campfire, rotating it slowly, until it is golden brown and cooked through. Remove it from the stick and drizzle with the included icing.

Remember to exercise caution when cooking over a campfire and supervise children closely. Enjoy these delightful camping desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth while creating memorable moments in the great outdoors.
