Ingredients for A Campfire You Can Eat

  • Flour Tortillas
  • Red Licorice
  • Peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup fried Chinese noodles
  • Tootsie Roll
  • Pretzel Stick
  • White Grape Juice
  • Cocoa Powder
  • At least 6 candy corn pieces

How to Make A Campfire You Can Eat

  1. Prepare your workspace: Clear a flat surface to build your edible campfire.
  2. Create the fire base: Lay down one large flour tortilla (approximately 10 inches in diameter).
  3. Build a safety ring: Wrap a licorice rope (approximately 12 inches long) around the tortilla, about 1 inch from the edge.
  4. Make a peanut rock ring: Arrange about 1/4 cup of peanuts in a ring halfway between the licorice and the center of the tortilla.
  5. Spread the peanut butter base: Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a circle in the center of the tortilla.
  6. Add kindling: Place a small handful (about 1/4 cup) of fried Chinese noodles on top of the peanut butter.
  7. Create the teepee: Arrange Tootsie Roll logs (approximately 6, cut into 2-inch pieces) around the peanut butter circle. Stick mini pretzel sticks (approximately 12) into the peanut butter at a 45-degree angle to form a teepee shape inside the Tootsie Roll ring.
  8. Add another log layer: Place more Tootsie Roll pieces (approximately 6, cut into 2-inch pieces) across the corners of the first layer to form a box around the teepee.
  9. Add finishing touches: Lay a few more pretzel sticks across the Tootsie Roll logs.
  10. Light the fire: Add candy corn pieces (at least 6) as flames.
  11. Extinguish (optional): For added fun, pretend to put out the fire with a small bowl of 'dirt' (e.g., crushed graham crackers or cocoa powder).
  12. Enjoy! Dig into your delicious edible campfire!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
