Take a large banana and peel back one section about 1 1/2" wide.  Scoop out the banana to make a cavity in the banana (will resemble a canoe).  Fill the cavity with small marshmallows and milk chocolate squares.  Fold the banana peel back and wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil.  Put the whole banana onto hot coals in the campfire for about 10 minutes.  Pull out with tongs and be careful because it is very hot.  Open and eat straight out of the banana peel.  It is also good over ice cream!!!!

This recipe can be used with any combination of fruit and cake mixes.  Experiment and see what your favorite combination is. (Try cherries w/ chocolate cake, apples w/ yellow cake, peaches w/ white cake.....the possibilities are endless)
butter
2 16 oz. cans of fruit pie filling (your choice)
1 box cake mix (your choice)
1/2 C. Water
Butter the inside and bottom of the lid of the dutch oven.
Pour the pie filling in the dutch oven.  "Dump" in the cake mix.   Spread evenly. Dot top with butter. Pour the water on top.  Place lid on dutch oven.  Put in coals.  Shovel some coals on top of the lid.   "Bake" for approximately 30-45 mins. Test cake for doneness.  If necessary, place on coals checking in 10-15 mins.

Using thoroughly cleaned cat food, or tuna fish cans allows everyone to have his/her own dessert.

Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix (dry)
butter or margarine
can of pie filling

Spoon pie filling into cans about 3/4 of the way full.
Spoon dry cake mix on top (more if you like crunchy cobbler, less if not)
thinly slice butter and put it on top of cake mix

Bake in a box oven  ( cardboard box covered on the inside with foil, complete with removable lid piece... Make sure to cover the ground with foil too!  Place inside 4 soda cans to hold up a cookie rack... Under the cookie rack goes the charcoal and on top the pies...)  for 20 min (or until top is golden) with 18 hot coals  (each coal is 20*)

This is a G.S. Favorite...

1-2 Bananas/person
Double Strength Alfoil
2 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar / banana
Butter
Rum, or Brandy, or pretty much any sweetish liqueur
Dairy Whip Cream

Place a banana in the middle of a large piece of foil and sprinkle with brown sugar, add a dollop of butter
and a good splash of alcohol ...hey, have a shot of alcohol for yourself while you are at.   Fold up foil and
wrap well ...stick it in the coals for about 5-10 mins or until warmed through and mushy-ish. While you
wait have some more alcohol. Serve with the cream. Any left over cream can be used according to your
own imagination once you have drunk the remaining alcohol.

Apples (green or red which ever you prefer!)
Cinnamon candies (Red Hots)
Aluminum foil

Will need adults help.  Using a sharp knife or apple corer, core each apple being careful not to go completely thru.  (will need a open area in apple to hold candies without letting them fall thru.) Fill each apple with cinnamon candies and  wrap in foil.  Place on hot coals and heat until candies melt and apples are fairly soft.   Turn often on coals to ensure even heating.   If you like more candies in center, core a larger portion of the apple and enjoy the cut out part as you wait for it to cook!!!  These are very hot and should be opened at top and left to sit for about 10 min after removing from coals before trying to eat them

Bananas
Small marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Peanut Butter
Foil wrap

Hold the banana with ends pointing upward. Carefully slice a "flap" out of the skin only. Start at stem end and go to other end.  Leave the flap attached.   Pull the sides a bit so banana is loose in skin.  Spread with small amount of peanut butter then place desired amounts of chocolate chips and marshmallows tucked inside the skin along side banana.  Fold the skin flap back over and wrap in foil.   Cook over coals for a few minutes to melt chocolate and marshmallows.

NOTE:  you may substitute or leave out any of the toppings.  We have tried butterscotch chips (YUM) and have left out the peanut butter.  Also good with just peanut butter and a little cinnamon.  Very messy!!!! (BUT OH SO GOOD)

You will need: Pie Irons, normally 2 or 3 Pie Irons will keep your group happy and fed.
1 can of Pie Filling, Cherry, Blueberry, Apple, etc.
2 slices of white bread per pie
butter or margarine
Powdered Sugar
Butter one side of each slice of bread, place one slice with the buttered side on the Pie Iron. Drop and tablespoon of pie filling in the center of the bread.
Take the 2nd slice of buttered bread and lay it on the pie filling with the buttered side out so the when the Pie Iron is closed the buttered side touches the Pie Iron. Close the Pie Iron and secure. Cut the crust off of the bread. Place Pie Iron in the campfire making sure the pie doesn't burn. It will take about 10 minutes to brown. You may open the Pie Iron slightly to check browness. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yummy!!

Orange Cakes

1 box yellow cake mix
1 or 2 oranges per person

Prepare oranges by slicing a small disc off the top of each orange, saving the lids.   Scoop the pulp out of the orange with a spoon being careful not to pierce skin; reserve pulp.  Prepare cake mix according to directions and add some or all of the pulp if desired.  Spoon cake batter into orange cups and replace lids.  Wrap tightly with aluminum foil.  Place foil packets (lid side up) in coals and cook until cake is no longer batter.  Remaining cake batter can be prepared in a traditional pan.

4 CANS OF BISCUITS
1 CUP OF SUGAR
1 CUP BROWN SUGAR
4 TBS CINNAMON
1 STICK MARGARINE

CUT BISCUITS INTO QUARTERS.  MIX SUGAR AND CINNIAMON IN PLASTIC BAG.  DROP BISCUITS INtO BAG AND COAT WELL.  place in dutch oven. melt margarine and pour over biscuits,sprinkle with brown sugar.  Bake over medium coals 20 to 25 minutes.

This dish although fat-free is not sugar free and not recommended for anyone who is near or diabetic.

2 cans of Eagle Brand condensed sweet milk (there is a low fat one)
1 Graham Cracker Crust (also a low-fat one)
1 medium container Cool Whip (low fat)

Boil the Sweet Milk while still in the can for 2 1/2 to 3 hours,making sure the cans DO NOT touch the bottom the pot in which they are boiling
After boiling very carefully open the cans. The milk is now caramelized and under tremendous pressure. I usually cover with a towel or rag and slowly open the can just enough to allow the air to escape.
After air is out,finish opening the cans and pour into the Graham Cracker crust. The now-brown milk will be very hot and sticky. Use a spatula to remove from can and onto the crust. The consistency will be rubbery but not difficult to spread.
Refrigerate immediately and allow to cool and firm for about 3-4 hours. This is a dessert when made camping should be made after lunch so it can be enjoyed after the evening meal.
After it has cooled and firmed up,cover with Cool Whip and enjoy!!
As if there aren't enough calories,the original recipe calls for shaved chocolate on top. If you dare, I suppose you can do this. But as you will find out, it is very sweet and most of us could do without the chocolate!!
The most important thing to remember is if Scouts want to use this recipe,you need adult supervision because as I said,the cans will be under tremendous pressure and could cause bad burning if allowed to be open improperly.
