Campfire Cooking Games


If you’ve never been on a campout, you’re missing out not only on a good time overall, but also a chance to try out cooking games you might not have considered previously. A campfire isn’t just reserved for hot dogs and marshmallows – although they are a great place to start.

Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are one of the easiest things to cook on a campfire. Simply thread the hot dog onto a stick and hold it over the embers (not the flames) until it is crackling and golden. If you hold it in the fire, it will cook faster, but get charred. If hot dogs are too basic for you, try making chili dogs, but putting a can in the embers to heat chili to put on top or skip the hot dogs and opt for a heartier sausage.

Marshmallows
You can cook a marshmallow the same way as a hot dog by holding it over the embers on a stick. This is fun, but eating a plain marshmallow, even toasted to a golden brown can be a bit dull. Instead, toast your marshmallow and place it between two graham crackers with a bit of chocolate inside. Congratulations! You’re made your first s’more!
