This Camp Cooking Hack Transforms S'mores Into An Easily Shareable Outdoor Delicacy
S'mores are a staple dessert for any good camping trip. Crunchy graham cracker, melty chocolate, and a just-right golden marshmallow oozing in the middle. However, there are always a fair bit of bumps along the way when making that perfect s'more. Maybe your marshmallow caught on fire (again), charring that perfect golden brown color you had going. Maybe you finally get a perfectly cooked marshmallow, only for it to melt all over your hands and clothes, and now your hands are so sticky you can't touch anything around camp. Smelling like a s'more is a recipe for bug bites. But if you're looking for a classier way to enjoy your s'mores, one TikTok user has cracked the code to keeping camping messes tidy while making this classic camping delight.
@earthtokesh HOLY GRAIL OF CAMPING DESSERTS!!!! 🍫✨ #campingrecipe #camprecipes #granolatok #granolagirl #campinglife #campinggear #campinghacks #campingtrip #campingfood #campingtents
Creator @earthtokesh on TikTok shared her experience cooking what she called the "holy grail of camping desserts": a s'more tray. In the video, she tossed chocolate, marshmallows, graham cracker-style cookies, and raspberries in a tin container. She covered the container with aluminum foil — the versatile kitchen staple that makes cooking while camping much easier — and popped it in the fire for five to 10 minutes. When the s'more casserole was done cooking, she had a delicious s'more bowl that was heated perfectly, and easy to share. This hack spares you from all the discomfort of toasting marshmallows and leaves you with an easily prepared camping dessert. You simply compile your s'more ingredients in the tray and let it toast in your campfire.
Why this s'more hack works
This dessert hack makes the process of cooking s'mores while camping fun and easy. With minimal setup and a low-maintenance cleanup, it's perfect for camping in large groups and feeding kids who tend to make messes. Since you need utensils to eat the dessert dish, you can say goodbye to chocolate smears and melted marshmallow somehow finding its way into your hair. Instead of leaving the little ones with sticky fingers, children can enjoy their treat with clean hands. You can easily split or share these dessert trays with your group, as the trays allow multiple people to take bites from the dish at the same time.
The best thing about this camping dessert is that it's entirely customizable. You can bring along your favorite toppings, and even try some new ones you've never been able to try before. Think peanut butter, sprinkles, fruits, or any other favorites that will spice up your s'mores game. Whether you go salty or sweet, these s'more dessert trays are bound to be a hit at your campsite.
