When you're out in the great outdoors, there's nothing quite like sitting around a campfire and roasting marshmallows. But why stop there when you can take your campfire desserts to the next level? Whether you're tenting or camping at a site, here are some sweet endings to satisfy your sweet tooth while enjoying the beauty of nature.
One classic campfire dessert that never fails to please is the s'more. This simple treat consists of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. Simply sandwich a roasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between two graham crackers and enjoy the gooey, sweet goodness. If you want to mix things up, try using different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or caramel-filled chocolate bars.
If you're looking for a more indulgent dessert, consider making campfire banana boats. To make this delicious treat, slice a banana down the middle (without peeling it completely) and stuff it with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and any other toppings you desire, such as nuts or coconut flakes. Wrap the banana in aluminum foil and place it on the campfire to cook until the chocolate is melted and the banana is soft and gooey.
For a refreshing and light dessert, try making campfire fruit skewers. Simply thread your favorite fruits, such as strawberries, pineapple, and mango, onto skewers and roast them over the campfire until they are caramelized and slightly charred. Serve the skewers with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra sweet touch.
If you have a sweet tooth but are looking for a healthier option, consider making grilled peaches with honey and cinnamon. Simply slice a peach in half and remove the pit, then brush the cut side with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Grill the peaches over the campfire until they are caramelized and juicy. Serve the grilled peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent yet guilt-free dessert.
For a more unconventional campfire dessert, try making campfire eclairs. To make this tasty treat, wrap refrigerated crescent roll dough around a skewer and roast it over the campfire until it is cooked through and golden brown. Fill the cooked dough with whipped cream and drizzle with melted chocolate for a simple yet decadent dessert that will impress your fellow campers.
Of course, no campfire dessert list would be complete without mentioning campfire pies. Whether you prefer apple, cherry, or pumpkin, campfire pies are a delicious and easy dessert to make while tenting or camping. Simply assemble a pie filling, such as canned fruit pie filling or homemade pumpkin puree, in a tin foil pie tin and cover with a layer of refrigerated pie crust. Place the pie tin on the campfire and cook until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
When it comes to campfire desserts, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're craving a classic s'more or something more adventurous like campfire eclairs, there's a dessert to satisfy every sweet tooth while tenting or camping at a site. So gather around the campfire, get creative with your ingredients, and indulge in some sweet endings under the stars.
