We also took canned biscuits, rolled them out like snakes on waxed paper, then wound them around campfire forks; pinching the ends to make them stick together. Hold them above the fire where the heat from the fire can bake the biscuit. When they're lightly browned, slide off onto a paper plate, squeeze some soft butter and cinnamon sugar..yummy!
My husband has always called these Foil Packs- from his Boy Scout days. We just had them last month when we camped at the beach! We always add carrots & green pepper tool
