Cooking it tomorrow with my dad then bringing it home, it will feed us saturday night and then me for the rest of the week, it gets better the longer its been made, mmmmmm cant wait!!

So I've heard of bonfires, we did one a few weeks ago and we'll be doing another one in two weeks but never heard of having a set night where everyone has a bonfire. What is the story behind it?

We just do hotdogs, marshmellows, and put an iron skillet with peach cobbler into the fire to eat later. For drinks we have hot cocoa and coffee.

[Connah'sMommy]

I was going to have a crack at bonfire toffee but knowing me and my cooking skills it could go 1 of 2 ways...

1. poison everyone in some way
2. end in disaster in the kitchen with burnt stove/pans/myself etc
