When I was a co-leader of Bre's Girl Scout troop we did a lot of camping - we still do but the cooking is not so dessert laden . Banana Boats 1 banana 1/2 chocolate bar Peel back one side of banana peel. Carefully cut a well into the middle of the banana and save the removed piece of banana. Break 1/2 chocolate bar into small chunks. Fill crevice with chocolate chunks. Cover chocolate with the removed piece of banana. Wrap banana in foil and allow for handles on the ends. Place on grill or coals and cook for 10-20 minutes until chocolate is melted and banana is warm. Baked Apples apples brown sugar pat of butter cinnamon candy Core out the top half of an apple. Fill with brown sugar. Place pat of butter on top of sugar, and place cinnamon candy on top of butter. Wrap in foil and place in coals, candy-side up, for about 15 minutes. Take out of coals, let cool, and enjoy. Breakfast on a stick Cut day-old unsliced (loaf) bread into 2-inch squares 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 box shredded coconut Place bread squares on a stick. Dip squares in sweetened condensed milk, then in coconut. Toast over fire. Coffee Can Ice Cream 1 - 1 lb coffee can with lid 1 - 3 lb coffee can with lid duct tape for lid crushed ice rock salt Ingredients: 1 cup milk 1 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla chopped nuts, or pieces of fruit - optional Combine ingredients in a clean 1 lb coffee can with a tight fitting plastic lid. Tape lid for added security. Place 1 lb coffee can in 3 lb coffee can. Pack crushed ice around the smaller can. Pour almost 1 cup of rock salt over the ice. Replace lid on 3 lb can. Roll the can back and forth on the floor or sidewalk for 10 minutes. Remove the inside can carefully. Keep salt solution out of the small can. Remove lid of small can and stir ice cream with a rubber spatula. Replace and retape lid. Drain ice water from larger can and place smaller can inside. Repack with ice and salt. Roll back and forth 5 - 10 minutes more depending on how firm you like your ice cream. Makes about 3 cups I bought the icecream ball last year, which works much better, but back then the girls had a ball decorating their own ice cream cans.
