How to Make Campfire Smores Nachos
To make these campfire Smores Nachos, start by preparing a campfire to cook the nachos. Just put everything in a disposable pan for easy cleaning and place it on the campfire and you’re done. You just need to pay attention and adjust the fire to avoid burning.
| Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes |
Here are step-by-step instructions:
- Light a bed of charcoal in a fire pit or grill. Let the charcoal burn into a layer of hot coals. Meanwhile, prepare the s’mores nachos.
- Spray a disposable baking pan with non-stick cooking oil. I usually choose the 8×8 size.
- Next, place half of the crumbled graham crackers in the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle two cups of mini marshmallows over the graham crackers.
- Add half of both chocolates for the first chocolate layer.
- Repeat the marshmallow and chocolate layers as above, then place large marshmallows on top.
- Tear off a large piece of foil to cover the pan. Spray the side of the marshmallows with non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then cover the pan with foil.
- Place the foil-covered pan on the grill over the coals and cook for 8-10 minutes. Remember to rotate the pan 180° in the middle to make sure nothing burns. Once done, remove the pan from the heat and carefully peel off the foil.
Enjoy while everything is still warm and pliable!
Notes
Here are some things to cook Smores Nachos when you cook at the campsite.
- You should place the pan at least 8-10 inches away from the coals to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Since cooking over a campfire, cooking time will be affected by wind, grill height, and fire size. Normally, it will take me nearly 15-20 minutes to cook and at night I will lift a corner of the foil to check if everything has melted.
- You should regularly check the fire and adjust the pan to avoid burning.
If you want to make this dish at home, just use the oven. Prepare ingredients as directed, preheat oven to 450°F and bake uncovered for 5-6 minutes, until marshmallows are golden brown and chocolate is melted. Done!
How to Serve Smores Nachos
Once your campfire Smores Nachos are ready, you can serve them with a few other sides for a fun meal.
To add some freshness, I like to add some fruit, like berries or grapes, or even make a batch of pineapple salsa. Besides, I also combine nachos with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle hot fudge sauce on top to enjoy. I believe you will like it, try it now!
If you have any leftovers, you can cover them and store them at room temperature overnight, especially not in the freezer. Just remember, this dessert tastes best when it’s fresh and doesn’t last more than a day.
Conclusion
