Ten-Minute Tinfoil Desserts

It’s cozy campfire season and that means it’s time for warm desserts that melt on your plate and in your mouth! We love a sweet treat around the campfire, but don’t love the cleanup. That’s why we created three craveable ten-minute tinfoil desserts.

Supplies

• Tinfoil
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula or knife
• Tongs

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup brown sugar (regular sugar works too!)
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 can biscuits
• 6 Tbsp cold salted butter
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips
• Graham crackers
  

Assembly

• Tear two large sheets of tinfoil and grease them with butter (or cooking spray).
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Cut the biscuits into fourths and roll them in the cinnamon sugar.
• Divide the biscuit pieces between the two foil sheets.
• Cut the butter into cubes and drop those delightful dollops onto the biscuits. 
• Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on the biscuits and butter.
• Top the biscuits with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers.
• Gather the foil on the sides and pinch it closed at the top like a dumpling.
• Cook on a grate over a hot fire for approximately 10 minutes or over a camping stove for 15 minutes rotating the foil once or twice during cooking for an even bake (the biscuits will be golden brown when finished).
• Use the tongs to carefully grab the monkey bread from the fire. Open up that ooey-gooey packet of goodness and enjoy! 

Supplies

• Tinfoil
• Measuring spoons
• Cooking knife or metal spoon
• Tongs

Ingredients

• Three apples (tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp taste best)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (regular sugar works too)
• 3 tsp. cinnamon
• 6 Tbsp cold salted butter
• Chopped walnuts (optional)
• Quick oats or crushed graham crackers
• Canned whip cream

Assembly

• Tear three large sheets of tinfoil.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Cut the butter into small cubes.
• Core the apples from the top with a knife or spoon keeping the apple whole and only removing the stem and core. You can also slice the apples and divide them between the foil sheets if you prefer.
• Fill the cored apples with the cinnamon sugar and butter cubes (evenly divided between the three apples).
• Top the apples with nuts and oats or graham cracker crumbles.
• Wrap the apples in foil and cook them over a campfire or stove for 10-20 minutes (depending on your preference). You can also place the foil directly in warm coals.
• Use the tongs to carefully remove the apples from the fire. Top your apple crisps with a generous dollop of whip cream and enjoy!

Supplies

• Tinfoil
• Knife
• Tongs

Ingredients

• Ripe bananas
• Milk chocolate bar broken into pieces
• Mini marshmallows (or regular mallows cut into pieces)
• Peanut butter (optional)
• Caramel sundae syrup (optional)
• Canned whip cream

Assembly

• With the banana still in its peel, slice the banana lengthwise without cutting it entirely in two.
• Squish both ends of the banana in the peel to open the center.
• Fill the center with marshmallows, chocolate, and peanut butter.
• Wrap the bananas in foil and place them on hot coals or over a fire or camping stove for about five minutes.
• Remove your gooey banana boat from the fire with tongs and top it with caramel sundae syrup and whipped cream!
