If you're looking for a way you can infuse the gooey taste of marshmallow and chocolate S'mores into an at-home baking recipe, these delicious campfire scones by blogger Joy the Baker creatively bring campfire taste to your kitchen.
These scone S'more hybrids are a clever take on a traditional campfire dessert. The campfire scones replicate the deliciously crumbly graham cracker taste by using whole wheat flour in the dough recipe. Brown sugar and molasses are incorporated to add aromatic depth. A good handful of milk chocolate chunks are added to replicate the S'mores melted chocolate taste. Instead of using marshmallows, Joy the Baker tops these scones with white meringues that she toasts with a blow torch for that added smokey flavor.
