These desserts aren’t just for camping trips, they are also perfect to try out on your fire pit or grill from the comfort of your own yard!

Campfire Recipes With Marshmallows
My daughter and I love this s’mores caddy! It’s perfect for keeping s’mores ingredients organized (and bug-free) while camping! my daughter and I have gluten and dairy sensitivities, so I keep this caddy stocked with our favorite allergy-friendly s’mores ingredients, and bring it along when we go to a cookout so that my daughter can participate.
We also love these telescoping marshmallow skewers, because each skewer is a different color, which helps with keeping them separated from others’ and avoiding cross-contamination. These bamboo skewers work, too, and they are nice during a camping trip because you can just throw them into the fire when you are finished.
Reese’s S’mores – What’s better than a s’more? A s’more with a Reese’s cup, instead of plain chocolate. Loving this idea from Crafty Morning!
S’mores In a Bag – Don’t want your hands covered in sticky marshmallow? Make this brilliant idea from A Girl And A Glue Gun, instead.
