We call those “inside-out” s’mores POOPY DIAPERS!! LOL!! I thought our family had come up with an original idea … apparently not, but I’ll bet we gave it an original name! :o)

What’s really fun is the look on friends faces when we’re all sitting around the fire and one of the kids says “mom, can we make some poopy diapers?” Hehe!!

Traci - You make a great point about the firewood. We’ve been using this extra cut wood that I got from my dad and I’m sure you’re right that it’s treated. So, we will be making sure to use real fire wood. I appreciate the comment!

I do love your site. So inspirational! What a great Mommy. I have to say the wood in your pit scares me……(crazy lady I know). My husband works for Lowe’s & the chemicals that the lumber is treated with, you should not breath it when it is burned OR eat it! Most all lumber is treated with something you would not want you children exposed to in it’s burning state….please choose real “fire wood”

Moon Pies! Oh, yum!!!

Wrapped Dogs - Take one of those biscuits and wrap it around your hot dog. Put over the fire until the biscuit is golden brown.

Banana Boats - Take a banana and cut down the middle. Don’t remove the skin. Fill with marshmallows and chocolate chips. Wrap banana with aluminum foil. Stick a skewer through it and heat over fire.

I’m liking the biscuit idea! When we go camping we like to bake potatoes (in foil) in the hot coals - makes the best tasting baked potato you ever had! Sausage in foil in the coals is also de.li.cious!

I’m loving all the great Fire Roasting ideas. I have heard of the “orange cupcakes” but have yet to try them. And I will definitely be testing out the Twinkies!! M&Ms inside marshmallows could be a real hit too.

Such fun and creative campfire eating. Thanks for all the great comments.

What great ideas! We used to make the doughy buscuits all the time at our cabin. We called them doughboys. Yum! We would always put my mom’s strawberry freezer jam and butter down the hole once you take them off the stick and eat them hot. I am drooling right now, just so you know ;)

We love roasting things over a pit too… We like to to put a peanut M & M inside a marshmellow and melt it.. yum… we tried making inside out somemores by using little gram bears inside the marshmellow with the M & M… it worked fairly well… but mostly we love the M & M inside… Yum… Happy roasting :)
