How to Make Campfire Cookies Everyone Will Love
With five boys in the house camping and everything outdoorsy is a big part of our lives. Ever since they were little, we’ve spent our days hiking, taking nature walks, and exploring the beach. So when we decided on a fun bear theme to start our schooling year off, I knew these campfire cookies were a must. You can make these for a neighborhood get together, a themed birthday party or just for fun. Everyone loves these easy to make campfire cookies.

What you will need to make your Campfire Cookies is in this picture below. However, I have it displayed in list form to print out towards the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
Campfire Cookies
Feel free to use your favorite sugar cookie recipe or purchase store bought sugar cookies for quick and easy campfire cookies. They will be delicious either way and a huge hit.
The first step after the cookies are ready is to mix green food coloring into the white frosting and frost the cookies.
Using a sharp knife, cut knife marks lengthwise into the tootsie rolls, so they resemble logs. Next, Cut the gummy bears into 3 pieces and dice the whoppers into small pieces. Logs and fire are ready for assembly 😉
Sprinkle some whopper pieces onto the middle of the cookies. Take 3 tootsie rolls and lay them around the whopper pieces in the shape of a triangle. Place some of the gummy bear pieces inside the triangle of tootsie rolls to resemble fire flames.
Poke a pretzel stick into a marshmallow but not through it. It will look like a roasting marshmallow on a stick. Repeat this for as many as you need. Place 3 of the marshmallow sticks on each cookie in a pyramid shape over the campfire, making sure the marshmallow touch at the top.
An optional step is to take a lighter and run it over the marshmallows to give them a roasted look.
Isn’t this the coolest camping snack ever?!
This cookie makes a super cute and fun treat for any camping theme party, family and friend get together or themed learning week.
