Now through Aug. 6, 2017, Cracker Barrel welcomes back fan-favorite Campfire Meals, the one-of-a-kind dining experience that recalls our favorite outdoor memories.

Each Campfire Chicken and Campfire Beef meal is seasoned with Cracker Barrel’s signature Campfire Spice blend and slow-cooked in foil with corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, fresh carrots, chopped onion and tomato wedges, served alongside made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins.

For the first time, families gathering around the Cracker Barrel Campfire will also enjoy the Cracker Barrel Campfire S'more, a new twist on the classic camping dessert. Featuring a HERSHEY'S® fudgy chocolate brownie and buttery graham cracker crust topped with a toasted marshmallow and melty HERSHEY'S® Milk Chocolate Bar, the Cracker Barrel Campfire S'more dessert also comes with creamy vanilla ice cream drizzled with HERSHEY'S® Special Dark Syrup.

Campfire Meals are delivered right to the table tightly wrapped in tin foil and filled with aromas of savory meats, fresh vegetables and flavorful spices that stir the senses when opened. Guests may enjoy Campfire Meals in two delicious ways – Campfire Chicken and Campfire Beef.

"Our innovative Campfire Meals have delighted guests since we first created them in 1997, and this year we are pleased to add a perfectly sweet dessert treat, the Cracker Barrel Campfire S'more," said Cracker Barrel Senior Vice President of Marketing Don Hoffman.
