Campfire food can be cooked over an open flame and with minimal cooking utensils. Meats and foods that need heat to be served are ideal for campfire cooking, but desserts are more difficult. Desserts typically consist of food that melts quickly, food that requires baking and foods that are delicate. Therefore, there needs to be a little more thought on what we choose to make for dessert while camping.
