Stuff  'em Sticks

     Yesterday I wrote about my experience at Girls Camp. One thing I left out of that post is what I am going to write about today, because believe me, this thing deserves its own post!  One night, the leaders of the camp came around to each tent site and gave each person a thing called a Stuff 'em Stick! Along with the stick, they gave us biscuit dough, pie fillings and whipped topping and explained to us how to roast the biscuits over the coals of the campfire and make ourselves mini cobblers.  It was so much fun and amazing! Our camp leaders made us these sticks and engraved the theme of the camp on each one.  
Picture
They are a large dowel with a small dowel stuck inside of them like this.
Picture
They engraved "Ask in Faith" on them because that was the theme of our camp. But, I am imagining a family name on them or each grandchild's name!
Picture
My stick was connected slightly off center. It still works great and I can tell that it is handmade!
Picture
You use them by taking a can of biscuit dough and cutting each biscuit in half.  At least, at camp we used biscuit dough, but I heard a rumor that crescent dough is better and so I tried it, and guess what! I liked it even better!  But, either one will work and in a minute I will show you some other variations! 

Picture
So, when I used the crescent roll dough, I took one big triangle of the dough and I cut it in half and then wrapped it and squeezed it around the large knob of the Stuff 'em Stick.  The sticks had been soaked in oil, so there is no need to spray it, but you can if you want.  Maybe as it gets older and starts to dry out I will have to soak it again or spray it.  So far, there has been no sticking.

Wrap the dough around the knob of the stick. Make it thin so it won't be doughy inside.
For my purposes of showing you, I cooked these over my gas stove flame. If you are camping, use the embers of the fire and do a slow turn of your stick. This treat is for camping, not for the 120 degree weather of Phoenix!
When it is finished, you will have a little cup to fill. If it still seems doughy inside, slip it back on the stick and wrap foil around it to keep it from burning and cook it a little longer.
At camp, we filled ours with fruit pie filling. Today I did some with apple and with chocolate, as shown here.
Picture
I got to thinking, as great as these are in the crescent rolls, there are probably some other delicious options.
Picture
I decided that apple pie filling would be delicious is a cinnamon roll crust! 
I simply opened a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and smashed a roll flat in my hand.  Then, I wrapped it around the Stuff 'em stick.  Make sure to stick the layers of the spiral roll together! 

The dough will be a little thicker, so I used the foil method and cooked it longer so it wouldn't be too doughy.
When it was finished, I filled it with apple pie filling and topped it with some of the cinnamon roll icing.
To take it a little farther, if you are doing this where you have access to a freezer with ice cream, I used my little cookie scoop to add a little scoop of ice cream on the top to make it a la mode.
    I think that another beauty of these sticks is that you don't have to worry about kids stabbing each other in the eye like you do when you are using marshmallow roasting sticks! Plus, there are so many other variations!  Wouldn't it be great to use cookie dough to make the shell for the chocolate pudding?  Add marshmallows and you have a s'more like final result! Since you use only half a crescent roll, one can of dough will make 16 Stuff 'ems.  Here are a few more photos:

Chocolate pudding is good.

Chocolate topped with whipped cream is better!
     You can make these sticks, like our leaders did, for yourself! That is what I want to do as gifts to my family.  Or, you can order them from a couple of places.
Picture
This is a set found on Amazon.  They are called Cobbler Sticks! They have a telescoping handle, which would make storing them easy.  You could still engrave them with a wood burner either on the roasting knob or the handle.
I found these on Etsy on GurneyBoysMFG.  They have a longer knob and are called GBsticks.  A bundle of 4 is $35 right now.  Of course, you can still brand them yourself.
   What a fun party around the campfire, either in your own backyard or up camping! I fell in love with this Stuff 'em Stick idea! You could even do little pot pies or brownie cups! The possibilities are endless! Let me know what your ideas are!
