To round out its assortment of Campfire Meals—which includes corn, potatoes and other vegetables that are cooked and served in aluminum foil—Cracker Barrel recently expanded its offerings to include a Campfire S'more dessert.
The decadent campfire-inspired dessert features a graham cracker-based Hershey's chocolate brownie that is topped with a toasted marshmallow and a melted Hershey'c milk chocolate bar. On the side of the dessert dish is a single scoop of vanilla ice cream that is drizzled with Hershey's Special Dark Syrup.
The menu item is in line with a number of new releases across the restaurant industry that incorporate popular products from confectionery brands that will be irresistible to those with a sweet tooth and a desire to rediscover a favorite snack in a new way.
