In the summertime we like to do more fun activities that we wouldn’t normally do. Like camping. We normally go in the cooler months because here in Florida the high’s are in the upper 90’s and it’s too hot to be in a tent. So when the kids asked if we could go camping this summer and we said not until the cooler months. So instead we thought it would be fun for them to camp inside the house, tent and all!
If they were going to camp in our living room I was going to try to make it as authentic as possible for them. So I headed to Walmart to pick up some supplies for their dinner and EDWARDS® Whole Pies for dessert. When we actually go camping my husband builds a campfire and we make hot dogs on skewers but that is not possible inside so I came up with something else fun for the kids to eat for dinner.
Sandwiches On A Stick Ingredients:
Deli Lunch Meat / Block Cheese
Grape Tomato’s
Kabob Sticks / Skewers
First cut different cheeses into thick cubes so that when pushing through the kabob sticks they do not break. Use the cheese at the ends of the sticks. Then take the lunch meat and roll it into a tube, cut it half and then fold it and push it through the stick. Next add the tomato and another block of cheese a tomato, ham and lastly a block of cheese. It is a fun way to eat a sandwich!
Fruit Salad On A Stick Ingredients:
Strawberries, Blueberries and Grapes
Kabob Sticks / Skewers
Wash the fruit prior to adding them to the kabob sticks.
Both of these recipes are fun for kids to eat, they are on a stick so the clean up is quick. You can prepare them in advance for camping inside or outside of the home!
Yes the kids loved being in a tent and their dinner but what they looked forward most was the EDWARDS® Pies for dessert.
I chose EDWARDS® Pies for dessert because there is NO baking involved, just simply thaw and serve which is perfect for camping! Plus EDWARDS® Pies have been one of my family’s favorite desserts. There are so many to chose from but the kids picked out EDWARDS® HERSHEY’S® Chocolate Crème Pie and EDWARDS® Turtle Pie.
EDWARDS® offers an amazing assortment of scrumptious pies:
- EDWARDS® HERSHEY’S® Chocolate Crème Pie
- EDWARDS® Key Lime Pie
- EDWARDS® Turtle Pie
- EDWARDS® New York Style Cheesecake

- EDWARDS® HERSHEY’S® SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Crème Pie
- EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie
- EDWARDS® Strawberry Crème Pie
We could not believe the amazing lusciousness of these pies! They were rich, decadent and creamy! My favorite part is the thick cookie crust! EDWARDS® Whole Pies definitely satisfied our sweet tooth!

That is the perfect dessert for camping. When you’re tired of s’mores!
There is no baking involved so it definitely works for camping! Plus they are SO much better tasting than s’mores!
Smores taste awesome, but I hate when the marshmallows get burnt. This sounds SO much better 🙂
Okay. I might go camping for this! Seriously. This is probably the only way anyone could get me to do anything involving a tent.
I’m more of a glamper than a camper, so this is exactly my idea of a great camping nom nom. It looks delicious.
We don’t camp, but that’s no reason not to have pie. Pie is good anytime.
I agree especially Edwards Whole Pies! Try indoor camping too, it’s fun!
Oh I love those skewers, perfect for summer entertaining. And what about that pie?! YUM!!!
Those Edwards whole pies look so tasty and yummy! I have to check them out, thanks! 😀
These are some delicious ideas And that pie! I would have that anytime!
My mother always kept an Edwards pie in the freezer for those rushed weeknight desserts. I never knew there were os many flavors, though- we always had Turtle!
We buy Edwards Pies for holidays. So easy and so incredibly delicious! No baking saves so much time!
These all look so deliciously delightful! Love all the chocolate and strawberry ideas.
I love the idea of camping indoors! Food on a stick is always a good idea. And the pie looks delicious.
That turtle pie looks really scrumptious. I’ve never seen them in the store before.
I love Edwards Pies! They’re always so delicious! They have some of the best flavors too. The Hershey’s creme pie one is really good. I’ve had that one before.
My favorite part is the thick cookie crust too!! It’s like heaven in your mouth, parts of it get softer than others – mmmm…. We buy Edwards pies more than I’d like to admit.
Pie is a perfect summer treat, I love pies and indoor camping is a great idea I think I might do that with my niece she’s spending the night here for a few nights. I’m going to have movies and snacks. The pie looks really yummy and kid friendly

I haven’t heard of sandwiches in a stick before, that is a fun idea.
These desserts really do look delicious and decadent. My husband has a sweet tooth so I know he would love these treats.
We used to eat lunch with my dad every single Sunday. He didn’t consider it a real meal unless we had an Edward’s pie for dessert.
The Hershey’s Chocolate Cream Pie is my absolute favorite. I ate a ton of it during finals in nursing school.
I want to go camping with y’all. This all sounds amazing. I love the fruit on the stick and then topping it off with some delicious pie. Delicious.

I would go camping much more often if I had the promise of pies as dessert!
What a fun idea – to camp in your house! I love the dinner you made for them – very healthy and fun. That pie looks delicious too.
I have one son that loves this pie. It is his absolute favorite pie in the entire world, hands down. To me, it just tastes like a lot of flavored cream.
Those pies are always great! Would have never thought about eating them while camping!
OMG! All of the food looks so good. Those fruit & veggie skewers look scrumptious. And, of course, the pies look heavenly.

I have never gone indoor camping…oddly enough we are really camping (ok glaming because clearly I have wifi) right now. Is it indoors if I am in an RV? The pie also looks yummy!
We really enjoy Edward’s Pies when we decide to splurge on a decadent, sweet treat and I don’t feel like baking it. The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Creme Pie is amazing!
Camping in the living room? Why not? My kids would love that, especially if they would nosh on those kabobs and finish off with a turtle cake.
I like those skewers. I also love the pic of your kiddos w/the pies. SUCH an awesome picture!
