Edible Fire!

So, now that I'm a Girl Scout leader, I took it upon myself to get Outdoor Skills certified...that meant a really long but fun weekend learning what the heck I was supposed to do outside while camping! Waaaaay new experience for me! But, one of the really fun things I learned was how to make edible fire...

Simply take pretzle sticks, mini marshmallows, potato sticks and red-hots (not shown) and put them in piles.

Then just assemble your fire! Sooo cute!

Personally, I didn't like the red-hots. They didn't "chew" like the rest of the ingredients. If I were making this for myself, I would much rather use Hot Tamales candies instead. They have that gummy texture that is easy to chew. These red-hots had to be sucked on until they softened and I didn't like the texture with the other components. That's just me though...
