Create campfire S’mores Nachos on your next camping trip. These dessert nachos can also be made on the grill or in the oven at home.

S’mores are the best! All that melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow combined with graham crackers are just the best camping dessert ever.

Why are S’mores called S’mores?

Have you ever wondered why s’mores are so popular? Obviously, it is the taste! All that chocolate goodness and marshmallow between two graham crackers.

It is the ultimate camping dessert sandwich. This recipe is not handheld, but you can eat it with your hands. It is the most popular post on this blog.

Who Invented S’mores?

Nobody knows exactly when s’mores were invented, but they first appeared in print in a Girl Scout publication in 1927. That credit goes to Loretta Scott Crew, who made ‘some mores’ by the campfire.

Somewhere along the way, it got shortened to s’mores. When you see the name of our blog, you know that we love that play on words!

Grilled S’mores

We love to eat, especially desserts. Who doesn’t? We have created all sorts of camping sweets. There are our S’mores with Peeps, S’mores Dump Cake, and S’mores with Chocolate Frosting, but now we bring you grilled S’mores Nachos. You make these as part of a S’more Charcuterie Board.

For some reason, food tastes better when it is cooked over the campfire. Why is that?

It is something that we have not been able to figure out. We go with it and create new camping recipes that we like to share with you.

Smores Nachos Camping Recipe

For this recipe, you need foil, a foil pan, and your traditional s’more fixings.

These grilled s’mores are cooked over the campfire, on the grill, or in an oven at home.

If you are making these out at the campground and the fire pit does not come with a grate, use a portable one.

We make these s’mores nachos in an 8″x 8″ foil pan. If you have a large family, you will want to make more in a larger pan. Everyone will want more, so maybe even two large pans.

• Use foil pans to make Grilled Nachos, Walking Taco Nachos, Pizza Bread, or Grilled Peach Crisp.

In your pan, layer broken graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Top with a few regular-sized marshmallows.

We discovered that this recipe is just as good at home on the grill or in the oven.

Cooking Instructions for Smores Nachos

Grilling Instructions: When cooking on a grill, we recommend that you make this recipe in a cast iron skillet. We do not top it with foil when we use this skillet.

We grilled these for about 7 minutes on our cast iron gas grill, but depending on how hot your grill is, it could take longer. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they do not burn.

Oven Baking Instructions: Like with the grill, we recommend making this in a heavy skillet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10+ minutes.

You can get the marshmallows extra crispy by moving them to a rack high in the oven for a minute or two after it has baked. Keep a close eye on the oven so the marshmallows do not burn.

Camping Dessert Nachos

The fun thing about this campfire s’mores in foil pan recipe is that it is very adaptable, not only in how it is prepared but also with the ingredients.

We love to have a Deluxe S’mores Nacho bar with various toppings. All the different options are set out, and we let everyone customize their own pan of nachos.

We love to use caramel bits, mint chips, bananas, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and sprinkles in addition to marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. Just layer the ingredients you want.

Can you think of an ingredient that we left out?

Diana’s favorite way to enjoy these nachos is with pretzel chips, strawberry jam, and caramel bits. Strawberry and caramel are an amazing combination that goes well with chocolate.

These amazing tastes are enhanced with the salt on the pretzels. Look at that gooey goodness!

Can you make Vegan S’more Nachos?

Yes! You can veganize this recipe with the proper ingredients. Start with vegan chocolate chips.

A majority of graham crackers have honey and confectioner’s glaze. Confectioner’s glaze is an additive that is made from beetles. Original, cinnamon, low-fat, Kellogg’s Grahams Crackers, and original Nabisco Grahams are all vegan.

We like vegan marshmallows. We think they have a better consistency after being roasted than traditional marshmallows.

By now, you are sure to be salivating. We hope you enjoy this great camping dessert as much as we do! This recipe is one of our most popular camping recipes.

Happy Campers will also enjoy these other chocolatey camping treats: Cherry Chocolate Lava Cake, Turtle Lava Cake, and Campfire Chocolate Chip Cookies.
