Make a bed of charcoal in either a barbeque grill or a campfire pit with a grate. Allow the bed of charcoal to burn to a nice bed of coal. While you are waiting for the charcoal, put together the s’mores nachos.
Generously spray an 8x8 disposable baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer ½ of the broken graham crackers in the bottom of the prepared pan.
Sprinkle ½ of the miniature marshmallows over the broken graham crackers.
Sprinkle ½ of both varieties of the chocolate layer.
Repeat the layers of miniature marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.
Place the full-size marshmallows on top of the second layer.
Tear a piece of 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.
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.
If you do not have a barbeque grill or are not able to go camping, you can make these Campfire S’mores Nachos in the oven. Put all the ingredients together as instructed above. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes, or until marshmallows are browned, and the chocolate is melted.

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.
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.
Make sure to keep an eye on your nachos as they cook since they can burn quickly if left unchecked.
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.
Remember, anything cooked over the open flame will be hot when removed. Cook with care!
