In an effort to avoid S'more burnout on our last trip, I came up with this quick recipe you can make right at camp and just toss on the hot coals of the campfire.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 sheets heavy duty aluminum foil (10x12-inch)
1 (12 ounce) package prepared sponge cake shells
cooking spray
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
⅓ cup chopped pecans, divided
18 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Spray the aluminum sheets with cooking spray, and place a sponge cake shell in the center of each sheet. Spoon the crushed pineapple into the cakes, dividing it equally, and sprinkle each cake with about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and about 2 teaspoons of nuts. Top each cake with 3 maraschino cherries, and drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of the pineapple juice over each cake.
  • Wrap the cakes in the foil, leaving some room at the top for air circulation. Place the foil packs onto the embers of a campfire until the cakes are hot and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
