Campfire Strawberries

Campfire strawberries are a delightful and simple campfire treat. Here’s a basic recipe to make campfire strawberries:

Ingredients:

• Fresh strawberries
• Marshmallows
• Chocolate chips or chocolate bars (broken into small pieces)
• Graham crackers (optional)

Instructions:

• Prepare the Campfire:
  • Make sure you have a safe and controlled campfire. If you’re not in a camping setting, you can also use a grill or a fire pit.
• Skewer the Strawberries:
  • Wash and dry the strawberries.
  • Take skewers or long sticks and carefully skewer the strawberries through the green stem end.
• Add Marshmallows and Chocolate:
  • Slide marshmallows onto the skewer after the strawberry, leaving some space at the end.
  • Add chocolate chips or chocolate pieces after the marshmallows.
• Roast Over the Campfire:
  • Hold the skewer over the campfire, rotating it slowly to ensure even roasting.
  • Be cautious not to burn the strawberries; you want the marshmallows to be golden brown and the chocolate to be melted.
• Serve:
  • Once the marshmallows are toasted and the chocolate is melted, carefully slide the roasted ingredients off the skewer onto a plate.
  • You can enjoy them as is, or for a s’mores-like experience, sandwich them between graham crackers.
• Optional Variations:
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate (dark, milk, white) for varied flavors.
  • Sprinkle some crushed nuts or coconut flakes for added texture.
  • Drizzle with caramel or condensed milk for extra sweetness.
• Safety Tips:
  • Be cautious around the campfire and supervise anyone, especially children, who are roasting their own treats.
  • Use long skewers to maintain a safe distance from the flames.
  • Have a designated area for roasting to avoid accidents.
