Why You Should Make This Recipe at Your Next Camp
Campfires are magical. They have a way of turning strangers into friends and creating memories that last a lifetime. The Campfire Choc-Caramel Delight isn’t just a treat; it’s a team-building exercise, a conversation starter, and a deliciously fun activity all rolled into one. Plus, it’s easy to make and even easier to enjoy, making it perfect for campers of all ages.
P.S: You don’t need a campfire to make this treat. It works great in a braai too!
Fire Safety First!
Before we dive into the delicious details, a quick word on fire safety. Always ensure that a responsible adult is supervising the campfire. Keep a bucket of water nearby, and never leave the fire unattended. Make sure the area around the fire is clear of any flammable materials, and keep the flames at a manageable level. Safety first, fun second!
The Ultimate Campfire Treat!
Ingredients:
- 2 slabs of chocolate (Dairy milk recommended, but feel free to choose your favourite flavour – just be mindful of possible nut allergies)
- Marie biscuits (enough for each person to have 2 biscuits)
- Half a bag of marshmallows
- 1/2 tin of Caramel Treat
- Tin foil
- Tin foil loaf tin
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tin: Add the marshmallows and chocolate pieces into the tinfoil loaf tin.
- Add the Caramel: Spoon dollops of Caramel Treat on top of the marshmallows and chocolate.
- Cover and Cook: Cover the tin with tin foil (shiny side in) and place it next to the fire. Rotate the tin every 5 minutes or so until everything has melted into a gooey delight. The tin gets hot, so use an oven glove or spade to move it. It’s best to add it to the fire when the fire has died down a bit and is not too hot.
- Check Regularly: After your second rotation, you should be checking your creation on every rotation to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Stir and Serve: Once the goo has melted (be careful, it’s hot!), stir and spoon a little onto a Marie biscuit and cover with another biscuit to make a sandwich. Alternatively, use the biscuits to scoop out the goo.
- Enjoy: Savour the deliciousness and enjoy the camaraderie around the campfire!
Feel like getting creative? Here are some tasty twists you can try:
- Biscuit Mix-In: Break up the Marie biscuits and add them directly into the tin with the other ingredients before cooking. This adds a delightful crunch to your gooey treat.
- Additional Treats: Mix in other favourite snacks like pretzels, Astros, or even dried fruit for an extra flavour burst.

Logistical Tips for Feeding a Crowd
Cooking for a large group? No worries! Here are some tips to make sure everyone gets their share of the Campfire Choc-Caramel Delight:
- Pre-Preparation: Divide your campers into groups and let them make the creation themselves. You can have the ingredients ready for the groups beforehand.
- Multiple Tins: Use several tins to cook larger quantities at the same time. One loaf tin serves 8 to 10 people, so plan accordingly.
