Campfire Pastries

by Cameron
(USA)

When we go camping, we make these camp fire pastries using hinged molds. We put buttered slices of bread on each half of the mold, buttered side down, and put a spoonful of pie filling from a can on one half's piece of bread. Then we close the hinged mold and it gets smashed together. Then we hold it over the fire for a while like toasting a marshmallow and after a few minutes you can open up the mold and you have a hot toasty pastry pie! Really good with a
little powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

Dough Boys

Take crescent roll dough and wrap around the end of a thick stick closing the end over the stick. Turn over the fire like you would a marshmallow. When it is done, take it off the stick and fill it with butter, jelly, honey....whatever you want.
We have ours for breakfast.

Dough-nut on a stick

by Angel Roney
(Middlebrook, Mo)

Hot and fresh over the fire!We use cheap biscuits in a can.(Crescent dough can also be used)Start by rolling a biscuit with your hands till you get a rope. Wrap aluminum foil from the top of the stick down about 5 inches.(This will allow for the doughnut to slide off easily)

Wrap the dough rope around the aluminum foil. Cook over fire like a marshmallow. When done, roll in melted butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Icing is good on these too. Enjoy! Our kids do!

Campfire dump cake

by LINDA
(TOBERMORY, ONTARIO)

Ingredients:

1 can pineapple tid-bits (no one will taste it :))
1 can cherry pie filler
1 yellow cake mix (or whatever kind you like)
1/2 cup butter cubed

Grease or spray an old pot, or a tin-foil pan to try and prevent sticking. Pour the can of pineapple tid-bits in the bottom....juice and all.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pineapple. Blob the cherry pie filler around the dry cake mix.

Randomly drop the cubed butter over that. DO NOT STIR THE LAYERS.

Cover with tin-foil. Place pot in the burned down coals of the campfire for around 30 minutes (depends on the heat of the fire).

Chocolate Fondue

by Lisa
(Canada)

You need one soup can, tealight and small foil tart tin per person. The adult takes the tin can and using a bottle opener opens 3 holes around the top and the bottom of the tin. Start the tealight, then place in tin can.

Put the tart tin in the top. Add mini chocolate chips. Let the chips melt. Then use the skewer to dip strawberries, angel food cake or grapes. I make the angel food cake before I leave for camp. You can also use pound cake.

Cinnamon/Sugar Biscuits on a Stick

by Maryanne Sparks
(Warrenton, VA, USA)

Start with Bisquick in a zip-lock bag. Make a well in the Bisquick, and add some water. Mix with a stick, and eventually cover the end of the stick with the dough. Toast over the fire, until cooked through. Roll in melted butter and cinnamon/sugar mix.

Enjoy the sweet biscuits for breakfast or a snack.

Cake in a can

Tin cans-one per person, clean, greased
cake mix in a box
campfire
long tongs to retrieve cans

Buy a box of instant cake mix of favorite flavor, mix up batter as directed, fill used clean, soup cans 3/4 full and place in fire with tinfoil over can or lid of can on top. Bake until toothpick, or skewer comes out clean.

When done, take off foil or lid and tip upside down, cake usually falls out, or run knife along edge in can and that will work. You could also let cool, and eat right out of can, with jam, syrup, or packaged icing.

Enjoy reusing tin cans!
