S’more Dump Cake Recipe
Since not everybody can get enough s’mores, we have a brand new Dutch Oven Dessert Recipe for you. We made it last month at a campout, where our camping friend Sarah dubbed it Death by S’mores, like a baked spin-off of Death by Chocolate.
Of course, this recipe includes the classic s’more ingredients: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. We preferred to use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of chocolate bars.
