Barrel Old Country Store Celebrates Campfire Meals Season
|
For its 20th
anniversary, guest-favorite Campfire Meals are back
with a new
sweet treat – the Cracker Barrel Campfire S’more dessert
|
Lebanon,
TN – May 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Cracker
Barrel Old Country Store® welcomes back fan-favorite Campfire Meals,
the one-of-a-kind dining experience that recalls our favorite outdoor memories.
Available at most Cracker Barrel locations nationwide now through Aug.
6, 2017, Campfire Meals feature savory meats and campfire spices wrapped
in a tin foil package that whisks guests back to their favorite adventures
– or inspires new ones.
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. “Guests love the savory taste
of Campfire Meals and cherish the memories of summertime fun in the outdoors,
so it’s no wonder Campfire Meals are one of our most popular seasonal offerings.”
To
complement Campfire Meals Season, this year Cracker Barrel is offering
a number of camp-inspired retail items for guests to enjoy at home. Designed
to help families create new summertime memories, these camp-inspired goods,
available in stores and online, include Premium Campfire Meal Seasoning,
lantern lamps, fishing hats and other unique finds. Guests looking for
a fun treat at home can also enjoy the On-the-Go Campfire S’mores dessert
available in stores.
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.
Campfire Chicken, offered for $9.99, Campfire Beef, offered for $10.99,
and the new Cracker Barrel Campfire S’more dessert, offered for $3.99,
will be available through Aug. 6 for guests to enjoy.
Since
May 8, Cracker Barrel has encouraged guests to share their excitement for
the return of Campfire Meals Season by using a special Campfire photo filter
on Facebook and Twitter. Cracker Barrel is also surprising select Campfire
fans who use the hashtag #GetCampfiredUp on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
with their very own “Campfire Kit.”
