Fire pits are definitely the number one outdoor design element for 2016, according to a study by the American Society of Landscape Architects. And now that it’s officially fall, it’s the perfect time to enjoy fire pit snacks during cooler evenings. Here are a few suggestions.
Fire Pit Snacks: S’mores and More
1. Porksicles
Bring just a little snap, crackle and pork to the pit by wrapping strips of bacon along the length of a stick and roasting slowly above the flames. Beware: The aroma might attract neighbors.
2. Aloha bites
Include some Hawaiian flavor to your night with skewers of ham and pineapple roasted over the open flames. The flames caramelizes the fruit, while escaping juices soak the meat.
3. Deluxe weenie roast
Hot dogs on a stick are classic, so why stop there? Up the flavor by slicing a sausage, stuffing it with cheese, wrapping it with bacon and then sticking it over the fire. Or, wrap hot dogs in canned biscuit dough and prepare outdoor pigs in blankets.
4. Peppers al fresco
Scrape the seeds out from baby bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, stuff with all your favorite cheese, skewer and roast over the flame until the peppers blister.
5. Elvis s’mores
The King himself would swoon for marshmallows and bacon roasted on the fire, smooshed between slices of banana, smeared with peanut butter and bookended by graham crackers.
6. Grasshopper s’mores
Try adding a few York Peppermint Patties among the marshmallows on your stick.
