Healthy Edible Campfires

Fire Safety is a really important subject to teach campers about. We talked about how campers could prefent forest fires, how they can safetly set up a fire in a fire ring, what the different parts of a fire are, and how to dress safely around a fire.

  To talk about the different parts of a fire we wanted to use a edible campfire. Traditionally edible fires are made out of pretzel logs, candy corn, and marsh mallows. We felt that these ingrediants were not very healthy and that there had to be a better substitute. Well Kate found one! Here are pictures and instruction about how to make your own edible campfire


Ingrediants:

      1. Chedddar Cheese
      2. Baby Carrot Sticks
      3. Red and Green Grapes
      4.All Bran cereal

Arange the grapes in a circle to represent stones, and put the All Bran cereal in the center to represent tinder. Next put the Baby Carrot sticks on top of the All bran to represent logs. The Cheddar chees can be stuck in the middle to represent the flames.
(We used the carrots and All Bran instead of the pretzel sticks.)
