Campfire Treats

Campfire treats are always a huge hit with kids big and small; and for my husband, they are a necessity.

Of course, the treat that comes to everyone’s mind first is undoubtedly s’mores. While I too love a traditional s’more, here are a couple creative alternatives.

• Oreo Mores - This is an idea some good friends of ours introduced us too many years ago on a camping trip to Joshua Tree. You toast a marshmallow over the fire and instead of wedging it between a graham cracker with chocolate, you insert it between two sides of an Oreo cookie. Voila!

• Dirt & Worms - This one I read about on the internet and wanted to give it a try with the grandkids because what goes better with camping than dirt. Put a package of Oreos in a Ziploc bag and smash them up into little crumbs. Put the crumbs in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, make a box of chocolate pudding per the package instructions. Add 8 oz. of Cool Whip to the pudding and stir in half the Oreo crumbs. Spoon the mixture into clear cups. Top with crushed cookies and gummy worms. I am so bummed I don’t have a picture to share but I am sure you get the idea.
