30 Sweet & Salty Snacks To Bring On Your Next Camping Trip

These bars are a cross between Rice Krispies treats and s'mores—and we're OBSESSED. Swapping the Golden Grahams for Rice Krispies is a serious game changer.

We used a big wheel of brie to fit perfectly inside a 10" skillet. It was almost THREE POUNDS. You can definitely use something a bit smaller, depending on the size (and brie obsession level) of your crowd.

These strawberries 'n' cream granola bars are so much better than the store-bought kind. Packed with rolled oats, coconut flakes, pepitas, and freeze-dried strawberries for a hit of tart flavor, these are perfect for breakfast or an on-the-go snack.

These "power balls" are exactly what they sound like: perfect little bites of energy that will satisfy that sweet craving. All ingredients come together in just 10 minutes to form sweet, soft, chewy balls that are reminiscent of cinnamon rolls.

The origin of the name "monster" cookies isn't clear, but it may refer to the fact that they're like Frankenstein's monster—made up of a combination of the parts of many other cookies. We love 'em because you can really throw anything into the dough.

Pumpkin seeds are super-easy to prepare and make a seriously delicious snack. Roasted simply with salt and melted butter, the variations are completely endless. We love ranch seasoning, taco seasoning, or cinnamon sugar for an added pop of flavor, but you do you.

If you love a wildly crunchy chip, plantains are the way to go. With a bit more fiber than your average spud chip, these plantain chips only require 3 ingredients. They're delicious on their own but can pair nicely with cinnamon sugar like we did here too.

Chickpeas are good for so much more than just creamy homemade hummus (though that's definitely a good use of them too!). They also make for a particularly good salty snack and are infinitely adaptable based on what you've got in your spice cabinet.

You won't believe these little cookies only have six ingredients, not including a pinch of salt (most of which you probably already have on hand!). We made 'em mini for snacking and easier packing in backpacks. 😊

Instant ramen is good for way more than just soup. It can be used to make ramen burger buns, an indulgent ramen carbonara, and now, a highly snackable savory party mix that's great for a midday snack, and even better with a beer around the campfire. 😋

Popping popcorn over a campfire is just as easy as making it on the stove, and way more fun. Get your favorite seasonings, a cold one, and watch the stars outside!

Puppy chow (aka muddy buddies) is one of the easiest and most delicious snacks EVER, and it's super-kid-friendly to make too. Have older kids help with the microwaving the chocolate and peanut butter and mixing it with the Chex cereal, then place it into a resealable bag with the powdered sugar, and let younger kids get to shaking it all around.

One of our top hall of famers, this beer cheese will get any campfire party started. This is best served with toasted baguette, good company, and a cold beer.

Originally created in Mexico but popularized in the American Southwest, Frito Pies (not actually pies) are comfort food perfection. Picture this: a freshly opened bag of Fritos smothered in spicy beef chili, cheddar cheese, and some bright, crunchy onions and jalapeños. Best eaten directly out of the bag.

Get the Frito Pie recipe.

Making your own apple chips is extremely easy—even without a fancy dehydrator. All you need is your trusty air-fryer and some crispy apples, like Honey Crisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.

Get the Apple Chips recipe.

For even better Rice Krispies treats, we sometimes brown our butter before adding the marshmallows. It makes the treats utterly irresistible (plus, the brown specks make them look so pretty!).

These hearty protein balls have that cookie dough flavor you want when a craving strikes, but a range of textures that makes us feel like we're eating a magic cookie bar.

Get the Peanut Butter Protein Balls recipe.
