Other Tips

Doughboys

Pillsbury Doughboy Crescent Rolls

Butter

Your favorite dessert or fruit filling(ex: chocolate syrup, jelly, apple sauce, etc.)

Tin Foil

Make It

While it is still light out you need to hunt for the perfect stick. A doughboy stick needs to be about 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick and long enough to hold over the fire.

Wrap the end of the stick in tin foil. Butter the foil.

Unravel the dough so that you get several triangles of dough. Each triangle is a separate doughboy, unless you want to make a super big one. Wrap the dough around the foil making sure that there are no holes and pinch the end closed.

Toast the dough in the fire.

Make sure you don’t lose it in the fire. You want the dough to be a nice golden brown on the top. When the dough is cooked you should be able to slip it off the stick.

Fill the dough with your favorite topping or filling.

Other Tips

Be creative; you can even mix in some nuts or raisins with your favorite filling.
