7 Campfire Dessert Recipes
Enjoy these camping desserts on your next vacation or at your next bonfire.
Camping is a great opportunity to get outside as well as connect with nature and with oneself, but it does change your cooking options for the duration that you’re away. This list of 7 Campfire Dessert Recipes will open your imagination to all the dessert options you have even when you’re cooking over a flame or some coals.
Starting with campfire desserts on a stick, this list contains some new ingredients to add to your classic s’more. Combine all three to create what will be a wacky, entirely new dessert!
But there’s recipes here besides s’mores as well. Bring your camping Dutch Oven and try the cobbler, or keep an eye out for two healthy fruit options.
