I recently stumbled upon an amazing dessert idea from Dessert Now Dinner Later that I just can't wait to share with you all! As someone who doesn't usually lean towards sweet treats, I have to admit that the aroma of cinnamon rolls is simply irresistible. There’s something about that warm, spiced dough and sugary icing that just calls to me—even when I’m enjoying the great outdoors!


Imagine sitting around a crackling campfire with friends or family, the night air filled with laughter, and then... you pull out cinnamon rolls! Yes, cooking these over an open fire is not only a delightful treat but also an experience that adds a special touch to any camping trip or backyard gathering.


Here’s How to Make Your Own Campfire Cinnamon Rolls:


Ingredients:

- Your favorite cinnamon rolls (grab them on sale for extra savings!)

- Optional: frosting for drizzling when they’re done.


Instructions:

1. Prep Your Cinnamon Rolls: Start with any cinnamon roll dough you prefer—store-bought works great, especially if you find a good deal!


2. Skewer and Roast: Using a trusty hotdog or marshmallow roaster, carefully skewer the cinnamon roll. Hold it over your campfire, rotating slowly and allowing it to cook evenly. This is a perfect chance to show off your roasting skills!


3. Grill Option: If you’ve got a more elaborate setup, you can place the rolls on a pie plate and grill them over the fire. This method works wonderfully if you want to cook multiple rolls at once!


4. Finishing Touch: The best part is the icing! Let your frosting come to room temperature so it’s easy to drizzle over your warm rolls when they’re finished.


5. Savor the Moment: Once cooked, find a comfy spot near the fire, sip on your favorite coffee, and enjoy this classic breakfast treat any time of the day.


This simple yet delicious dessert is definitely one of my favorites! It combines the nostalgic feeling of outdoor cooking with the joy of indulging in a sweet treat. Plus, it’s such a fun activity to involve everyone in the cooking process. So next time you head out for a camping adventure or even a backyard fire night, don’t forget to bring along some cinnamon rolls. You won’t regret it!


Happy cooking and bon appétit!
