Campworthy hosts cooking sweet rolls

This recipe, submitted by Jen of Bay City, Michigan, is simple but delicious. When making these campfire sweet rolls, remember Jen's pro tip: "Do yourself a favor and use *real* whipped cream, then properly eat yourself into a food coma. It's a survival technique when my family insists we camp."

Campfire Sweet Rolls

Ingredients

  • Butter or non-stick spray
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • Your choice of toppings: whipped cream, jam, hazelnut spread, frosting, pudding, anything goes!

Equipment

  • Roasting stick
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions

Step 1

Wrap the end of the roasting stick in foil and spray with non-stick spray (or rub with butter). This will create the hole for all of the delicious fillings that you'll later add.

Step 2

Wrap the dough of one crescent roll around your stick, making sure to close off the end. This is tricky. Kids might need some additional help.

Step 3

Roast slowly so the dough evenly cooks on all sides. Coals closest to the ground are usually a good spot. It will take much longer to roast a crescent roll than it will a marshmallow.

Step 4

When the roll is golden brown, fill the hole with anything you like.
