THANK YOU for the replies. We've got several trips in the immediate future and I was looking for some new ideas. You gave me many!

Fried Molasses.
Heat the skillet. Depending on how many you are going to feed, pour in a quarter to a half cup molasses.
Sprinkle about a half teaspoon baking????? over the molasses.
Stir while it foams(just a few seconds).
Serve over hot biscuits that have been pulled apart.
Molasses like you have never tasted before.
