Tootsie Roast

Me and katie have been wanting to do a campfire night all summer and we finally planned it. We gathered a crowd, food and went up.
Ted was the one picked to start the fire... He did a great job.

We went all out with the food. Hot dogs, chips, marshmellows, cookies, drinks, starbursts, and tootsie rolls were involved. Matt won the award for the perfect marshmellow roast and smore presentation. He had serious skill.

So one day I had this thought come to me.... Startbursts are great on the campfire... I love tootsie rolls more than starbursts... I wonder if tootsie rolls would taste as delightful. I bought a bag of tootsie rolls so we could give it a try.

I am not going to lie. It didn't turn out as good as hoped. It was still fun to give it a try. The taste doesn't really taste different roasted. Let down.

Overall the night was great. Ah I love the mountains!
I love campfires! I always feel outdoorsy when I am at one. That is about the most outdoorsy I get. We had a great group and the night ended with a bang. Three forest rangers put an end to our night at 9:40... who knew that the canyon was closed so early.
