Chocolate Gingerbread Men
It's a tradition in our house to make these every Christmas as a family. You may also use a straw to make a hole in the top, tie a ribbon through the hole, and hang on the tree as an ornament.
-
Gingerbread Figures
A treat for little (or big) kids! Leave as is or glaze or decorate with icing and small candy silver balls.

Shortbread Cookies
My mom taught me to make these shortbread cookies when I was 10! The recipe is easy, but Yummmo!
-
Haunted Gingerbread House
If you are looking for a ghoulish Halloween activity everyone can enjoy, why not create a peanut-free Haunted Gingerbread House? Decorated with Nestlé Favorites peanut-free treats, it's not only safe for children who have peanut allergies, it's also spooktacularily fun to make!
-
Witch's Fingers
Easy to shape and so delightful to eat!
-
Campfire Skillet Dinner
I pre-cut my chicken and ingredients before we leave and keep everything stored in ziplock bags in the cooler. We make this dinner our first night at camp because we can get unpacked and settled while it cooks.
-
Campfire Muffins
You will be surprised at how fun it is to make muffins when you are camping. Make extras for snacking!
-
Campfire Bananas
I remember making this dessert when I was in Girl Guides. It is a really easy and very tasty camp treat.
-
Campfire Beans
Our kids saw an old movie where the cowboys were eating beans from a can and decided it would be fun to have beans on our last camping trip. We didn't cook the beans in the can but we enjoyed our own variation in a big cast iron pot.
-
Campfire Pizza
This pizza is fun to make but you have to watch it doesn't burn. You can also make this on your BBQ using indirect heat, like an oven.
-
Campfire Baked Apples
Baked apples are great at home and amazing when cooked over hot coals. Try these if you are out camping.
-
Campfire Popcorn
We had a campfire popcorn popper when we were kids but I haven't been able to find one. We use heavy duty foil and it works everytime. You will need one package per person.
-
Omelette in a Bag
You will not believe how easy this recipe is. We tried it for the first time a few years ago during a summer camping trip. We now make them at home because they taste so good!
-
Campfire S'mores
This is our favourite summer treat. We keep a plastic container filled with supplies so we can make them anytime.
-
Perfect Lemonade
The key to making perfect lemonade every time is to use simple syrup, made by boiling together both water and sugar, then cooling. This completely dissolves the sugar and blends deliciously with the tart lemon.
