Edible Campfires
Supplies: 12-inch flour tortilla, Red licorice
rope, Peanuts, Peanut butter, Fried Chinese noodles, Tootsie Rolls, Mini
pretzel sticks, White grape juice, Hot cocoa powder, Candy Corn
Instructions: To make an edible campfire, first clear
a space on the table to build a safe fire. Lay down a tortilla fire base and
wrap a licorice rope safety circle around the tortilla about an inch in from
the edge. Build a peanut rock ring halfway between the safety circle and the
center of the fire base. Spread a circle of peanut butter in the center of
the fire base, then lay a small handful of fried
Chinese noodles on top for kindling. Lay Tootsie Roll logs around the peanut
butter circle. Use mini pretzel sticks as fuel wood to build a tepee
inside the ring of logs and over the kindling, sticking the pretzels into the
peanut butter at a 45-degree angle. Add another layer of logs, setting
them across the corners of the first layer to form a box around the tepee. Lay
a few more pieces of fuel wood across the logs. Make sure buckets of water
(glasses of grape juice) and dirt (hot cocoa powder) are nearby to put out the
fire if necessary, then light the fire by adding candy
corn flames. After the camp director approves the fire, throw dirt (Cocoa
powder) on the fire to put it out. Now, the moment the fire builders have been
waiting for... eat your fires!
