It’s hard to beat conversation with loved ones around the campfire at the end of a long day of exploring. What’s the one thing that can make it better? Dessert! We’re not talking the kind of treats that take you away from the conversation and back into the camper for baking. We mean simple campfire desserts that can be made right over the campfire.

Campfire strawberries are a twist on roasting marshmallows that the kids will love. All you do is dip the strawberries (or really any other fruit) in the marshmallow flush then roast them over the campfire until it reaches your desired toastiness! And it’s fruit, so who says these campfire desserts aren’t healthy?

Guys, who doesn’t love a good donut? And a campfire donut that’s easy to make? I don’t think I have it in me to ever turn one down. The recipe calls for cinnamon sugar, but you could probably dip them in chocolate or any kind of icing if you wanted. Don’t forget the sprinkles!
Campfire Apples

These campfire apples do require a bit of prep beforehand, but it just makes it easier on you once you’re out camping. You core some apples, add the dried fruit mixture to the middle, wrap those babies up and toss them onto the fire. You know they’re done when you squeeze them with a set of tongs and they’re tender. So simple!

Look so good! That black berry cobbler looks the bomb! The other ones look good,but will need to switch to a vegan marshmallows.
im not a huge fan of camping though my husband is! I can easily myself though enjoying the campfire apples! I think ill even try making it at our pwn backyard just for the flavor and scent!
The campfire nachos is one that my boys would love. It is so simple yet so delicious.
I will be making the campfire nachos with my kids very soon!
The idea that caught by eye the most is the campfire peach. I normally do a bonfire in the winter months for friends and family and can see some of these recipes being used. But as stated before I am most interested in the peach recipe. I would love to add ice cream to it
The peaches would be really fun for a Winter fire and party with friends~
I’m gonna have to go with the blackberry campfire cobbler. I’ve never been camping, but this could convert me.
I haven’t been camping in years – but you’d get me there for sure if there was a promise of any of these desserts at the end of it!! 🙂
This list is so awesome. I often organize camping events for my clients, I’ll certainly start this trend of making desserts by the campfire.
