How to Store Campfire Strawberries

Freeze: These aren’t suitable for freezing because the strawberries will thaw out mushy.
Top Tips
Crushing the crackers: Squeeze the graham crackers through the sleeve carefully to crush them. Be gentle so you don’t puncture the sleeve.
Use metal skewers: Wooden ones have the potential to ignite over the campfire, although using sticks can be fun!
Dry your strawberries: It’s important to make sure the strawberries are dry, otherwise the coatings won’t stick to them.
