Looking for Campfire Treat Ideas
Hello, Last weekend we had our first camping trip of the year. We usually have S’ Mores but my daughter got braces this past spring so S’ Mores are out. We are looking for any fun campfire treats...

Orange cake! A couple of good size oranges, cut in half and hollowed out leaving the rinds in tact. One box of Jiffy Vanilla Cake mix. Fill each half of the orange with the cake mix. Wrap in foil and place in the coals for about 10 minutes. The BEST Orange cake ever!!!
One of our favorites!
Give each camper their own orange with just the top sliced off. Each person has to dig out and eat the insides of the orange...then they bring the empty shell and the lid to the cook, who fills it two-thirds full with batter. Tops go back on; each is then wrapped in aluminum foil and placed strategically in the firepit, each person "supervising" the baking of their cake. Takes about twenty minutes and a couple of turns to cook through. Test for doneness with toothpick.
When done, remove from firepit, unwrap, and peel just like an orange. Great fun!
Our favorite filling is packaged poundcake mix, by the way.
