Last week my husband and I went camping with our three daughters. We were camping for 10 days and it was fantastic. If you know anything about my husband, you'll know that he LOVES to camp. He was born for it and he is the best possible version of himself when he is camping. On the drive home from our camping trip, I took the liberty of interviewing Steve. He humoured me and what a great sport he was :)

Question SJ....what is a pie iron? More specifically what is a mars bar pie iorn? And how do I get one???
I'll chat with SJ tonight and get him to post his answer on here :)
Angela - picture a grilled cheese sandwich cooked over the fire. A pie iron is a small cast iron 'box' with a handle. Instead of cheese - you put sliced apple, sliced mars bar and cinnamon between the bread. You cook it for 10-15 minutes and it is amazing.
If you join us camping next summer, I'll make you one!
