Cranford BSA Troop 80
At Troop 80’s December 12 meeting, the Scouts demonstrated how to use a cardboard box as a makeshift camping oven to bake S’mores pies. This recipe is a twist on the camping staple and uses a pie tin with a graham cracker crust, filled with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
To create an “oven,” a mid-sized cardboard box was lined with aluminum foil. Then an empty pie tin was placed on the bottom of the box with a wire rack above it. The S’mores pie was placed on the rack. Hot charcoal briquettes were placed in the empty pie tin, and the box was taped shut for 15 minutes. The heat generated in the aluminum-lined box baked the chocolate and marshmallows to create the pie. A nice hot treat on a cold night!
