S'mores Bars

Sometimes you cannot have a campfire at your campsite, but it is possible to bring s'mores with you anyway on your next camping trip!  Don't leave home without them!

1 cup melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups crushed graham crackers
4 Hershey chocolate bars
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Mix together butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs and press into a greased 13X9 in. baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

Break Hershey bars into small chunks and place onto of baked graham cracker crust.  Sprinkle marshmallows on top of chocolate.

Move oven rack to the highest possible rack and turn broil oven on high temperature.
Place baking dish onto rack broil for approximately 3 minutes or until marshmallows have the desired golden brown color.  Watch them carefully!  Some people like them darker than others, but they truly will resemble roasting over an open campfire flame.

Cool pan and then refrigerate for several hours.  It will be hard not to try to eat them, but they will be hard to cut into squares if they are not complete chilled.

Cut into squares and keep in cooler for your next camping adventure!

Campsite Breakfast



Tips for an easy campsite breakfast:
  • Store eggs in a plastic egg container to avoid breakage.
  • Keep sausage links in an airtight Ziplock baggie or container to avoid contact with melting ice.
  • Bring chopped bell peppers and onions for the potatoes in Ziplock baggie so you don't need to do any chopping.
For some reason, breakfast tastes more amazing outdoors!
