How To Make This Campfire S’mores Nachos Recipe

If you are making this delicious treat in the great outdoors, get your campfire going first so that it is ready to cook your nachos.

Assemble the nachos in a disposable pan – this makes clean-up easy! Then, let the campfire do the work, making sure to keep a close eye on the nachos.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You can cook the s’mores in a cast iron skillet. Please be aware that the melted marshmallows and chocolate will stick like glue to the skillet. Make sure that your skillet is properly seasoned, and also coat the skillet with either shortening or vegetable oil.

STEP ONE: Make a bed of charcoal in either a barbeque grill or a fire pit with a grate. Allow the bed of charcoal to burn to a nice bed of hot coals.

While you are waiting for the charcoal, put together the s’mores nachos.

PRO TIP:

The distance of the pan over the coals is something to pay attention to. I would suggest at least 8-10 inches above the wood/coals.

STEP TWO: Generously spray an 8×8 disposable baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

STEP THREE: Layer ½ of the broken graham crackers in the bottom of the prepared pan.

STEP FOUR: Sprinkle two cups of miniature marshmallows over the broken graham crackers.

STEP FIVE: Sprinkle ½ of both varieties of the chocolate layer.

STEP SIX: Repeat the layers of miniature marshmallows and chocolate. Place the full-size marshmallows on top of the second layer.

STEP SEVEN: Tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the baking pan.

Generously spray the side of the foil that will be against the marshmallows. Cover the pan with the foil.

PRO TIP:

Campfires and coals can have so many variables, wind, the height of the grate above wood/coals, and the size of the grill (a tabletop vs full-size grill vs campfire pit). All of these can affect the amount of heat, thus affecting the cooking time.

For us, it took a lot longer than 8-10 minutes (closer to 15-20), but we were cooking over a large open fire pit.

Being very careful, you can open the corner of the pan to see if everything is melting.

STEP EIGHT: Place the foil-covered pan on the grate over the barbecue grill of the campfire grate. Allow the s’mores to cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

Turn the pan 180° halfway through the cooking time. Be sure to keep a close eye (or nose) on the s’mores to ensure they do not burn.

Remove the pan from the grate, and then remove the foil. Serve while nice and warm.

PRO TIP:

Make sure to keep an eye on your nachos as they cook since they can burn quickly if left unchecked.

STEP NINE: If you do not have a barbeque grill or are not able to go camping, you can make this classic treat in the oven.

Put all the ingredients together as instructed above. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Bake uncovered for five to six minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate is melted.

PRO TIP:

Remember anything cooked over the open flame will be hot when removed. Cook with care!

How To Serve

Once the campfire s’mores nachos are ready, they can be served on a platter with other sides.

To add a bit of freshness, consider including some fresh fruit like berries or grapes or our pineapple salsa.

For something extra sweet and indulgent, try serving these campfire grilled s’mores nachos with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or hot fudge sauce.
