A simple and fun campfire dessert using crescent roll dough wrapped around sticks with cinnamon sugar and butter, cooked over an open flame for a gooey, warm treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or glazing

Instructions

  1. Prepare your campfire or grill until you have glowing coals or medium heat (about 20-30 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate into individual triangles along pre-scored lines.
  4. Brush each dough triangle lightly with melted butter on both sides using a basting brush.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough pieces.
  6. Wrap each dough triangle around a sturdy stick or skewer, starting at the pointed tip and spiraling up, leaving room for the dough to puff.
  7. Hold the stick over the coals or grill, rotating slowly every 30 seconds to 1 minute, cooking for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Check for doneness; the roll-up should be firm but springy with a crispy exterior and gooey interior. Cook longer if needed.
  9. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
  10. Let cool for a minute or two and serve warm directly off the stick.

Notes

Use moderate heat with glowing embers, not roaring flames, to avoid burning. Rotate sticks slowly and regularly. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10-15 minutes before use to prevent burning. Lightly flour hands or use melted butter to prevent dough sticking. Optional add-ins include mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or thin apple slices. Can be baked in oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes as an alternative.
