After wrapping in foil, you can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees until warm (about 10 minutes).

I learned this recipe while camping with my Girl Scout troop 40 years ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!! By the way, these are excellent with any flavor chips, not just chocolate.

My sister-in-law made these when we were camping and they were so good!!! We also added coarsely crushed graham crackers in addition to the choc chips and marshmallows for more of a S'mores taste. Yummy!!!
