Prep:5 min
Cook:30 min
Yield:6 servings

Ingredients

  • stick or wooden dowel (5/8-inch diameter and 24 inches long)
    • 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated seamless crescent dough sheet
    • 3 snack-size cups (3-1/4 ounces each) vanilla or chocolate pudding
    • 1/2 cup chocolate frosting
    • Whipped cream in a can, optional

Directions

  1. Prepare campfire or grill for high heat. Wrap 1 end of a stick or wooden dowel with foil. Unroll crescent dough and cut into six 4-in. squares. Wrap 1 piece of dough around prepared stick, covering 1 end; pinch end and seam to seal.
  2. Cook over campfire or grill 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. When dough is cool enough to handle, remove from stick. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
  3. Place pudding in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in 1 corner. Squeeze bag to press mixture into each shell. Spread with frosting; top with whipped cream if desired.
