Here are our top 5 recipes for an epic camping feast:
1) The best hot chocolate
This hot chocolate recipe is a rich, decadent treat for everyone in the family. If you’re feeling a bit fancy, top it with some whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Before you head to the campsite, grab some extra cosy blankets and percy pigs from M&S Handforth Dean to wrap up in while you sip your delicious hot chocolate.
Ingredients
25g cocoa powder
60g caster sugar
850ml milk
100g classic 74% dark chocolate, chopped
2) BBQ baked potatoes
Make dinner interactive with a baked potato bar at your next camping trip! You can pre-cook your potatoes at home and then warm them up on the BBQ or stove at your campsite. Just skewer them, barbecue until they’re crispy, and then load them up with a variety of toppings.
Ingredients
6 medium potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
Toppings of your choice
Tips: While your potatoes are cooking, open your prepared toppings so everyone can help themselves.
Skillet flatbread pizzas
Ready in just 30 minutes, these budget-friendly pizzas are made in a skillet pan. Prep the dough before you leave to save a mess at the campsite. You can customize the toppings to whatever your family loves! If you’re feeling less confident with making the dough, you could always pre-buy flatbread or tortilla bases.
Don’t forget to grab a cool new hoodie from JD Sports Handforth Dean to wear while you cook, so you stay warm and look stylish.

500g self-raising flour
270ml cold water
2 tbsp olive oil
400g tin plum tomatoes
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
10 fresh basil leaves plus extra to garnish
2 packs mozzarella, cut into thin slices
1 red onion, finely sliced

4) Giant sharing ham, egg and crisps baguette
This is a fun twist on a classic pub sandwich! It’s easy to prep ahead of time and is perfect for sharing on your camping trip or a picnic. You can swap in your favourite sandwich fillings or crisp flavours.
We love the idea of packing up some hand sanitiser or baby wipes from Boots Handforth Dean to keep clean while sharing this delicious meal with your friends and family. You can also pick up a great range of camping essentials that don’t break the bank including plasters and dry shampoo.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1 white baguette

5) Raspberry s’mores
Time for dessert! This is a fancy twist on a classic campfire treat that the whole family will love. If you don’t have a BBQ, you can toast your marshmallows on skewers over your camp cooker’s gas flame. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you can swap the marshmallows for baby bells or brie, and the biscuits for crackers, with a little chutney for a savoury alternative.

12 white marshmallows
4 tbsp Tesco Finest raspberry conserve or raspberry sauce
12 malted milk biscuits
80g dark chocolate, snapped into 12 pieces
