Sweet Treats

More than S'mores for the great outdoors (from Family Fun)
 

BAKED APPLES

These healthy treats taste special when they're cooked over a campfire.  After you core the apples, let your kids stuff them and set them in the coals.

Ingredients:

1 apple
2 to 4 tbsp. dried fruits and nuts
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. cinnamon sugar (mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon)
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine

Directions:

Carefully core the apple, leaving the bottom intact. Stuff it with fruits and nuts of your choice, packing it fairly tight. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar and dot with butter. Wrap the apple in a double thickness of aluminum foil, twisting the ends at the top to form an easy handle. Place the apple right side up on the coals. Bake for twelve to eighteen minutes, turning occasionally, or until the apple yields slightly when pushed with a gloved hand. Before serving, open the foil and let the apple cool for a few minutes. Serves one.
 

SHAGGY DOGS

These are truly messy camp desserts--real outdoor material.

Ingredients:

1 marshmallow
A small bowl of chocolate syrup
2 to 3 tsp. shredded coconut

Directions:

Spear the marshmallow on a stick and roast until golden.  Carefully dip it into the chocolate syrup to cover and then roll it in the coconut. Eat the sweet off the roasting stick. Makes one serving.
 

BANANA BOATS

Another fun treat is bananas that have been sliced long ways and then have sliced mars bar put inside and then wrapped up in foil. The banana cooks and the mars bar melts through it all - divine!  (Idea by Mel)
