Scout Chef Kitchen Presents: the S’MORES Edition!

S’mores are my most favorite dessert, ever. I never get tired of the classic s’mores recipe, but if you are looking for a couple of super easy ways to mix it up, check these out!
 
Side note: I highly recommend sticking with Hershey’s chocolate. They have perfected the soft chocolate bar that is literally designed to be the perfect consistency for your s’mores. Trust me – I have tried more high-end alternatives, and it just didn’t turn out as well.

Banana Boat S’mores

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 heaping tablespoon chocolate chips
• 1.5 tablespoons mini marshmallows
• 1.5 tablespoons honey nut chex mix (bonus – it’s gluten free!)

Instructions

• Slice banana long-ways and push it down to help keep it open and upright (so you can stuff it with all the goodies!)
• Spoon in your chocolate chips, marshmallows, and chex mix
• Wrap in aluminum foil, keeping an opening at the top (this is a recipe that it is ok to let that steam out)
• Put packet on coals and cook 8-10 minutes (or, if you are at home, you can also throw in the oven at 350° for about 8 minutes)

Once the marshmallows are melted, take it out and enjoy with a spoon!

Autumnal S’mores Dip

I made my own pumpkin pie filling, but obviously you can use one from a can to simplify!
 

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. Mini Marshmallows
• 2-3 Hershey Bars
• 1 box Honey Graham Sticks
• Pumpkin Pie filling
• Cast Iron Skillet, 6-8”
   

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling Ingredients

Pro tip: do this at home so it is pre-made for your camping trip!

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/16 teaspoon ground cloves (literally a tiny dash)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup whole milk 

Directions

• Put a layer of marshmallows into the skillet.
• Break the candy bars into pieces and spread around on the marshmallows.
