Campfire S’more Nachos

Campfire S’more Nachos are everything I love about classic s’mores, but served up in a warm, gooey, shareable pan. Perfect for summer nights by the fire or even a cozy oven treat at home, these sweet nachos layer crunchy graham crackers, melty chocolate, and gooey marshmallows for an irresistible dessert.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and fun this recipe is—it’s all the joy of making s’mores without needing to roast each marshmallow individually. The nacho-style layout means everyone can dive in and grab a bite. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd and always a hit at campouts, BBQs, or even just a family movie night. Plus, it’s super easy to throw together with no complicated steps.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 sleeve graham crackers, broken into pieces

• 16 Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, broken into chunks

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

• 14 full-size marshmallows

Directions

1. I start by layering the graham cracker pieces evenly in the bottom of a cast-iron skillet or foil pan.

2. Then I scatter chunks of Hershey’s bars and semi-sweet chocolate chips all over the top of the crackers.

3. I sprinkle on the miniature marshmallows, letting them fill the gaps and layer over the chocolate.

4. Finally, I top everything with the full-size marshmallows, placing them evenly across the surface.

5. If I’m outdoors, I cover the skillet loosely with foil and place it over a campfire grate or near hot coals for about 5–10 minutes, until the chocolate is melted and marshmallows are gooey and golden.

6. If I’m at home, I bake the nachos in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8–10 minutes or until the marshmallows are nicely toasted.

7. I serve them warm right out of the pan with spoons or graham crackers for scooping.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 6–8 people and takes just 10–15 minutes from start to finish. Prep time is around 5 minutes, and cooking time is another 5–10 minutes depending on the heat source.

Variations

I sometimes mix things up by using dark chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. Adding peanut butter chips or drizzling caramel sauce before serving gives the nachos a whole new layer of flavor. Crushed pretzels or sliced bananas also make tasty additions when I want to get creative.

Storage/Reheating

These are best eaten fresh while warm and gooey. If I do have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. To reheat, I pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, just until everything is melted again. I avoid the microwave since it can make the marshmallows rubbery.

FAQs

Can I make these in advance?

I usually assemble them ahead of time and cover with foil, then cook when ready to serve. They taste best fresh and hot.

What kind of pan should I use?

I like using a cast-iron skillet or disposable foil pans—they both handle heat well and are great for campfire or oven use.

Can I use mini marshmallows only?

Yes, I’ve made them with just mini marshmallows before. I just add a bit more on top for that golden, gooey finish.

Are these safe to make indoors?

Absolutely. I make them in the oven all the time—just keep an eye on the marshmallows so they don’t burn.

Can I use other kinds of cookies instead of graham crackers?

Definitely. I’ve tried chocolate chip cookies, digestive biscuits, and even pretzel crisps for a fun salty-sweet twist.

Conclusion

Campfire S’more Nachos are a sweet, messy, crowd-pleasing dessert that I come back to again and again. Whether I’m roasting them by the fire or baking them in the oven, they bring all the nostalgic s’mores flavor in a fun, shareable way. It’s the perfect ending to any casual gathering or night under the stars.
