Cook it up Camping Style

S’mores Galore-The yummy taste of camping—without the tent, dirt, fire…..!!!

20 whole honey graham crackers, divided
6 1.5oz chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
1 package mini marshmallows, divided
6 tbsp butter or margarine, divided
3 tbsp milk
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover bottom of stoneware bar pan, breaking crackers to fit. Toast in oven 2 minutes, remove pan to nonstick cooling rack.
Coarsely break remaining graham crackers into large bowl: set aside. Coarsely chop chocolate bars using food chopper: set aside.
Combine 3 cups of the marshmallows, 3 tbsp of the butter and milk in the small micro cooker. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add half the chopped chocolate: stir until chocolate is completely melted. Using larger spreader, spread marshmallow mixture evenly over graham crackers in pan.
Melt remaining 3 tbsp butter: toss with broken graham crackers. Add remaining marshmallows and chopped chocolate: toss lightly. Using mix-n-scraper, spoon evenly over mixture in pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until marshmallows are lightly browned. Cool 15 minutes. Cut into bars, serve warm.
Ziploc Omelets
This is a FABULOUSLY fun breakfast meal!! Your family will LOVE having the perfect omelet that THEY helped prepare!!! And soooo fun to do while camping!!!
**Have individuals write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
**Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2)—Shake/kneed to combine them.
**Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, olives, cooked sausage, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
**Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
**Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. (or use 2 burner Roasting Pan for more)
**Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
***Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
