The Inspire Test Kitchen hit the road to test this late-summer dessert in its most ideal setting: a creek-side cabin! A beloved camping snack,

s’mores get a fun shareable upgrade as “nachos.” Chocolate melts beneath toasty marshmallows, and with the addition of Oreo Thins, this will be your new favorite.

This fun-for-all-ages take on a classic is fully customizable, so add apple slices, your favorite candy or even a sprinkle of cereal. Endless possibilities for our endless Texas summer! Ingredients:

10 sheets of graham crackers, broken into squares 10 mini Hershey’s bars 2 big handfuls of marshmallows (try assorted sizes!) 10 Oreo Thins cookies

Foil

Instructions:

1. Fold the edges of a sheet of foil to create a “plate” to assemble your nachos. 2. Lay a base of graham cracker pieces, using about half. 3. Place 5 mini Hershey’s bars, and cover with remaining marshmallows and graham crackers. 4. Place Oreo Thins around the other ingredients. Try crumbling a few. Our Test Kitchen members decided that Thins worked better than traditional Oreos because they pick up hot marshmallows more easily. But don’t be afraid to just go for the Double Stuf. 5. Fold foil over the nachos and place on the heat of a campfire, a hot grill or in the oven. 6. Watch it closely, as cook times vary by your level of heat. It won’t take long before marshmallows increase in size and create the sticky-sweet nachos you’ll love pulling apart. 7. Optional: Roast a few additional marshmallows separately over the fire, and place on top for additional flavor.
