We just saw an unusual but family fun Xmas gift!

Thursday, December 20, 2012

According to Campfire-In-A-Can website:

"Womp'Em Sticks™ are a new favorite for outdoor cooking from breakfast to dessert. A fun activity with delicious results, every time. The solid wood cooking head is perfect for cooking Womp'Em biscuits (Pillsbury Grand biscuits). Once they have been roasted till they’re golden brown, have fun filling them up with your favorites… ice cream, fresh berries with whipped cream, pie filling, bacon and eggs, or even a hotdog! It’s an easy, fun campfire activity for everyone."

Check it out in this video, looks like a lot of fun and there's a holiday promotion too!
