What is a great dessert that can be made over a campfire?
Other than the tasty staple – smores that is.
We are going camping and it is a friend’s birthday. I don’t really have the ability to bring the normal birthday cake and keep it safe from destruction before serving time.
What is something tasty you have made?

omg i love pie ovens….which you can buy in the camping section a cast iron contraption that you can put two pieces of buttered bread and you can fill it with virtually anything…we have put the obvious pie filling but you can put any kind of pudding so its fun and yummy. you can also make grilled cheese or pizza or omlet.
smores is the only thing i can think of
you should try bannana boats – take a banana and cut the top and then put marshmallows and chocolate chips where you cut the banana. put it in tin foil and lay on it’s side over the campfire. check periodically. when the marshmallows and choc chips are melted unwrap foil and peelings and eat
Smores. Melted Chocolate Cookies.
You can just roast marshmallows inside of doing smores.
Dutch oven Peach cobbler!!!

~~Mock Toasted Angel Cake
Cut day-old unsliced (loaf) bread into 2-inch squares
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 box/bag shredded coconut
Place bread squares on a stick. Dip squares in sweetened condensed milk, then in coconut. Toast over fire.
~~Sticky Buns
5 Tablespoons butter/margarine
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
3 Tablespoons corn syrup
Pecan halves
2 8-ounce packages biscuits (refrigerated)
Cinnamon
Sugar
Combine 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar and syrup in pie pan. Heat to bubbly on hot coals. Sprinkle with pecans. Melt rest of butter. Dip one side of each biscuit in butter. Put on waxed paper, butter side up. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Put 2 biscuits together. Arrange on syrup mixture. Cover with 2nd pie pan. Seal pans with double strip of foil. Cook over coals for 15 minutes on each side.
~~Doughboy on a Stick
1 package of refrigerated biscuits
Cinnamon and sugar
Butter
Take the biscuit and wrap it around a stick by spiraling it from the top and work your way down. The thinner the biscuit is on the stick the quicker the inside will cook so you don’t burn the outside. Cook over the fire until done. Roll in butter and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar all over it.
~~Campfire Muffins
6 Oranges
2 (7 oz.) packages of muffin mix, any flavor
Cut oranges in half. Scoop out the orange segments to eat alone or to use in a fruit salad. Reserve the hollow peel shells. Prepare the muffin mix according to the package directions. Fill the orange peel cups half full of batter. Wrap each one loosely with heavy duty aluminum foil. Place in hot coals, making sure that the batter side stays up. Cook 5-10 minutes until muffins are done. Adding a few cranberries to the batter adds excellent flavor and goes well with the orange. Makes 12 (use 3 oranges per package of muffin mix).
bring some fruit with you, an aluminum pan, some chocolate for melting, and you have the makings for a great fondue.
