FUN FOOD
Edible Campfire
National Capital Area Council
As the Cubs build their own "campfire", talk about why each ingredient is important. After the "fire" is built, enjoy eating this special treat.
Ingredients:
1 napkin (fire clearing)
1 small paper cup of water (bucket to put out fire)
Miniature marshmallows (to make fire circle)
Shredded coconut (tinder to make the fire started)
Fritos and skinny pretzels (kindling - to keep the fire growing)
Cheese sticks (fuel - big logs)
Candy corn (flames)
After you build the campfire, plan a picnic or fishing trip where the boys can assist their parents with building a real fire. They might even "catch" a hotdog to cook.
Peanut Butter Burrito
Will Rogers Council
Ingredients:
Package of small tortilla flats
Peanut butter (we recommend smooth)
Applesauce
Raisins
Cinnamon to taste
Take one tortilla flat and spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. Next add a tablespoon of applesauce, then put on raisins and just a dash (we have it on good authority that a dash is slightly less than a pinch) of cinnamon. Fold in the ends and roll into burrito shape. Wrap in foil. Refrigerate over night and serve the next day.
