Camp Smores Fries

Around the Campfire

Camp smores fries are a playful dessert built for sharing. Instead of a traditional fire dessert, this version uses griddled dough strips as the base and turns the toppings into a table treat.

Why This Recipe Works

Small dough strips cook more evenly on the Blackstone than large pieces. Gentle heat keeps the outside from browning before the center is done.

Quick Facts

• Serves: 4
• Heat zone: Low to medium-low
• Best for: Kid desserts, shared plates, rainy nights
• Teaches: Low-heat dessert cooking

Shopping List

• Biscuit dough
• Chocolate
• Marshmallows
• Butter

Home Prep

Keep dough sealed until cooking. Portion chocolate and marshmallows separately.

Cooler Packing

Keep refrigerated dough cold. Keep chocolate cool and dry.

Equipment

• Blackstone griddle
• Spatula
• Optional foil pan cover

Heat Zones

Use low to medium-low heat so the natural sugars caramelize without scorching.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the griddle on low to medium-low.
2. Cut dough into strips.
3. Lightly butter the griddle.
4. Toast dough strips gently until cooked through.
5. Move to a plate or tray.
6. Top with chocolate and marshmallows.
7. Serve warm.

Doneness

Dough should be cooked through and no longer raw in the center.

Common Mistakes

• Cooking too hot.
• Cutting strips too thick.
• Adding toppings while the dough is still on high heat.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as dessert after burgers, tacos, or campfire night. Try with crushed graham crackers, a peanut butter drizzle, or cinnamon sugar sprinkled over the top.

Variations

• Add graham cracker crumbs.
• Add peanut butter drizzle.
• Use cinnamon sugar dough strips.

Dietary Adaptations

• Gluten-free: Use gluten-free dough if available.
• Dairy-free: Use dairy-free chocolate and plant-based butter.
• Vegan: Use vegan marshmallows and chocolate.

Scaling

Cook dough strips in batches and top on a shared tray.

Weather Notes

Good for nights when wind or rain makes fire desserts less practical.

Leftovers

Best fresh.

Kid Helper Tasks

Kids can add chocolate and marshmallows after the hot work is done.

Dragonfly Tip

Cook the dough first, then build the dessert. Do not ask toppings to survive the griddle.

Dragonfly Challenge

Try one tray with chocolate and one with peanut butter. Pick the camp dessert winner.
