Corn Roasts and Marshmallows and ‘Smores, Oh My!

A campfire makes everything taste better. Maybe it’s the fresh air, maybe it’s that little bit of smoky taste or maybe it’s the good times that go along with it. Whatever the reason, a visit to Colonial Bay isn’t complete without a night spent hanging out by the campfire, making new friends and eating some of the delicious goodies that come out of the fire.

First, there’s the classic roasted marshmallow, speared on a stick and slowly browned to perfection or flaming, blown-out, crispy-on-the-outside-and-soft-on-the-inside goodness.

Then there’s the marshmallow’s more elaborate cousin, the ‘smore. There are lot of variations (strawberry-banana ‘smores anyone?), but we prefer the basic but oh-so-good, Graham Cracker, Marshmallow and Milk Chocolate variety.

For something different, try a Banana Boat: a whole banana, sliced down the middle to make a pocket, stuffed with mini-marshmallows and chocolate chips, wrapped in foil, and nestled among the coals until it’s ooey-gooey good.

And then, of course, there’s our world-famous (okay, Muskoka-famous? Colonial Bay famous?) corn roast. Fire-roasted, butter-slathered, fresh cobs of corn. Yum.

What’s your favourite campfire treat? Let us know and if it’s one we haven’t tasted, we can try it the next time you’re here.

Until we see you again!
