Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using fresh peaches when in season for added flavor. Dark chocolate can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips for a richer taste. If you're looking for a vegan option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows. Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to keep the steam in, which helps the ingredients meld beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these peach bundles as a delightful dessert around the campfire or at a barbecue. They pair beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside grilled meats or vegetarian options like Indiana Baked Beans for a balanced feast.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in fresh foil and warm over coals for about 5 minutes or place in a microwave, covering with a damp paper towel, for 30-60 seconds until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them before using. This will ensure they cook evenly and prevent excess moisture from making your bundles soggy.
What can I substitute for marshmallows?
If you're looking for alternatives, you can use mini chocolate-covered pretzels or even a dollop of peanut butter for a different flavor profile. Just ensure whatever you choose melts nicely.
How do I know when the peach bundles are done?
The bundles are done when the marshmallows are melted and gooey, and the peaches are heated through. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes over coals, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
