Looking for Campfire Treat Ideas
Hello, Last weekend we had our first camping trip of the year. We usually have S’ Mores but my daughter got braces this past spring so S’ Mores are out. We are looking for any fun campfire treats...

Our family favorite is cat tails!
Use biscuit mix (we use biscuix sp??) mixed a bit dry, roll it out about 3/8 in thick, cut onto 3-4 inch disks with a cookie cutter or a glass. You'll need fairly thick sticks, broom handle size is good but at least thumb size, with bark stripped off about 6 inches. Carefully shape the disk over the end of the stick and spread it down 4 inches or so. Flour helps to prevent sticking to your hands. Yeah, it will be like a thick condom! Slowly roast over the fire until golden brown, if cooked well it will come off the stick cleanly. You will now have a test tube shaped cooked cat tail! Fill in the hole with a bit of butter and your favorite home made jam and enjoy! Or, I guess you could fill with chocolate chips and let em melt.
Way less sugar than s'mores or marshmallows, and it takes a bit of time so keeps the kids occupied. Ours are now in their 30's and they still ask for cat tails when we are around a fire!
