Ingredients
- 30 pieces pretzel sticks (for firewood)
- 8 pieces red gummy worms (for flames)
- 10 pieces orange gummy bears (for flames)
- 2 sheets yellow fruit leather (for flames, cut into thin strips)
- 10 cookies chocolate sandwich cookies (for dirt or stones around the campfire, crushed)
- 1 cup candy-coated chocolate rocks (optional for added 'stone' effect)
- 8 pieces small marshmallows (optional, for roasting sticks)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your workspace by placing a large serving plate or tray to act as the base for your edible campfire.
Step 2
Spread the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies evenly on the plate to create a 'dirt' or 'stone' base for the campfire.
Step 3
Place the candy-coated chocolate rocks around the edges of the circle to create a stone border (optional for added realism).
Step 4
Form a small teepee shape in the center of the plate using pretzel sticks. Use about 6-8 pretzel sticks to create the main structure and lean additional ones against it for a layered, campfire effect.
Step 5
Decorate the center of the campfire with 'flames'. Alternate between red gummy worms, orange gummy bears, and thin strips of yellow fruit leather. Tuck the pieces between and around the pretzel sticks to mimic the look of glowing flames.
Step 6
For a fun touch, stick small marshmallows on the ends of a few pretzel sticks to create 'roasting sticks'. Lay these around the edges of your edible campfire as if ready for use.
Step 7
Serve immediately and let everyone dismantle the campfire bite by bite!
