Celebrate Canada with this Campfire Dessert

No campfire? No problem! This oven-baked dessert dip packs all the gooey chocolatey-marshmallow goodness of the classic fire pit treat, no flames required. Keep it traditional and dive in with graham crackers or achieve sweet-and-salty nirvana and enjoy with potato chips.

And for those of who do have a campfire, Tom Filippou, executive chef for President’s Choice cooking school, has just the right tip for you to cook this golden dessert. “Use a heavy cast-iron skillet — not a pie plate — and set it over the grates of your fire pit and melt the butter. Add pecans and cook, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Add chocolate chips, top with marshmallows and cover loosely with greased foil. Cook until the marshmallows are puffed and golden and chocolate is melted.”

If you prefer to stick to traditional oven baking or want to make this when it’s still chilly out, check out the recipe below.
