Ah yes, summer is here. That means long hot summer days, mixed with lazy afternoons by the pool or weekends spent in the woods being one with nature, a.k.a camping. In no uncertain terms am I an outdoors type of girl unless there are showers involved…and fluffy mats to sleep on–then I’m all about camping. Not sure what I mean? Here is my idea of camping. And here is my husband’s idea of camping. And it looked a little like this. In my stress of not having a shower and being in the woods, I opted to make sure camping was not only good for the kids but good for my soul. Thus, creative ways to bake fudge brownies and fruit snacks was born. We made tasty fruit waffle cones and added a bit of camping flare with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. But the ultimate fav was the brownies baked in a hollowed out orange. DIVINE and perfect for camping or grilling in the backyard.

Campfire Waffle Cones

Gather and assemble your ingredients. I chopped up one banana and several strawberries. For the sweet stuff, I included mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips. Scoop into waffle cones. Wrap in foil and place in pan over coals. Turn cones over after five minutes and bake for five minutes more. Remove from heat and check a cone to see that everything has melted and warmed through. Serve!!

Campfire Mocha Fudge Brownies – In an Orange

This recipe is by far my family’s favorite and is definitely a new tradition for our camping adventures!! You’ll need your favorite fudge brownie mix plus ingredients according to the package, 8 large oranges, and heavy duty foil wrap.

Gather and prepare your mix according to package directions. I brought eggs and made the brownies that afternoon, so I didn’t have to worry about keeping eggs cool. The great part about these brownies is they are still fresh and moist the next morning if they are kept wrapped tight in the foil after baking. 🙂 Brownies for breakfast – A mama’s dream breakfast!! Hollow out oranges and drink up the juice–just because it’s good for you. My kids were sticky from slurping the juice and insides from a bowl. Pour mix into oranges, 3/4 full. Add tops and wrap in foil. Place on grill over coals, turning every so often or place in a pan over coals. Allow up to 50 minutes for brownies to bake depending on the heat of your fire. Remove from heat, remove tops, and allow to cool. Serve!! For the printable recipes, click on this below. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page.
