Campfire Cravings: Tasty Camping Dessert Ideas Using Lehi Mills Baking Mixes

Campfires, starry skies, and sweet treats—there’s nothing like a summer camping trip to bring people together. But just because you're in the great outdoors doesn't mean you have to skip dessert! With Lehi Mills’ premium baking mixes, you can whip up crowd-pleasing sweets right from your campsite or cabin kitchen. Whether you're using a Dutch oven, a griddle, or a cast iron skillet, these easy dessert ideas are made for adventure.

Dutch Oven Berry Cobbler

You’ll Need:

Lehi Mills Blueberry Muffin Mix (or American Berry Muffin Mix for a festive twist)

1–2 cans of pie filling (blueberry, raspberry, or peach) or fresh berries tossed with sugar

1 cube butter

Instructions:

Grease the bottom of a Dutch oven.

Pour fruit filling into the base.

Pour dry muffin mix over the fruit.

Scatter the butter (cut into small pieces) over the dry mix. 

Cook over hot coals for 20–30 minutes or until the top is golden and cooked through.

Pro Tip: Rotate the Dutch oven regularly to avoid burning one side!

Cast Iron Skillet Brownie

You’ll Need:

Lehi Mills Double Fudge Brownie Mix

Water and oil (or pre-mixed at home and chilled)

Cast iron skillet

Optional: marshmallows, chocolate chips, chopped nuts

Instructions:

Mix brownie batter at home or at camp.

Pour into a greased cast iron skillet.

Bake over low campfire heat or place on a grill grate, covered loosely with foil.

Cook for 30–35 minutes or until mostly set (gooey centers encouraged).

Top with roasted marshmallows or chocolate chips and let melt.

Serve warm straight from the skillet with spoons all around—or top with cold whipped cream if you packed a cooler!

S'mores Cookie Sandwich

You’ll Need:

Lehi Mills Sugar Cookie Mix

Marshmallows and chocolate squares

Instructions:

Bake sugar cookies ahead of your trip or make them at the campsite.

Roast marshmallows over the fire and sandwich between two cookies with a square of chocolate.

Let the chocolate melt a little... then take a bite!

Messy? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
