6 Decadent Desserts You Can Make in a Dutch Oven
What do you crave after a long hike or a big day of climbing? Is it something sweet? Outdoor activity can leave you craving sugar to replace all those calories you just burned. And bringing a Dutch oven on for your camping trip means you can whip up some truly satisfying treats.
Whether you're rewarding yourself after active day or just jonesing for dessert after a campfire dinner, the Dutch oven is a magic maker when it comes to making fresh, hot, and gooey treats.
Here are 6 decadent desserts you can make with your Primus stove and a Dutch oven.
1. Monkey Bread
Carbo-load the sweet way with a batch of chewy, sticky, and oh-so decadent monkey bread. Made with Pillsbury crescent rolls, they're convenient to make and to bring along in those practically indestructible tubes.
For a little extra deliciousness, try wrapping a Hershey's chocolate kiss inside of each biscuit. Mind blown? It will be.
