Here’s my list of 18 kid-friendly campfire recipes you need go try today.
Apples by the Fire

Orange Rolls
Refrigerated biscuits cooked in orange peels then topped with icing!
Roasted veggie kabob (with or without meat)
This is a sneaky way to get your kids to enjoy more vegetables. Chop your veggies of choice and coat with a little olive oil. Bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onion and zucchini all go well with a smoky flavor.
Then, place on a skewer (or stick). Hold the veggies by the fire, rotating until they’re ready. Add a little butter or salt and pepper.
Roasted fruit
You can also roast plenty of fruits — like apples, banana, peaches or pineapples. Just stick it on a skewer and warm it up. Brush the fruit with some melted butter or drizzle with a little honey.
S’moreos
Oreos…need I say more?
S’mores Nachos
Alright, I’ll give you one more…all you need are all the regular s’mores ingredients, dumped in a disposable baking tray.
Spider Dogs
This is a fun way to roast hot dogs!
Stuffed Marshmallows
A quick, easy and fun campfire dessert, stuffed marshmallows are perfect for popping. Take a piece of candy, such as a peanut butter cup, and shove it into the center of a marshmallow. Pierce your stuffed marshmallow with a skewer, and warm it over the campfire, then pop it into your mouth and enjoy.
