Campfire Orange Brownies Video

The video shows the concept, but … it does not show that you should double-wrap the orange, AND, make the second wrap end with a “curly-que” or twisted-hook on top (as in photo above). This shows you which is the top of the orange, (don’t want to put it in upside-down), and provides an easy way to grab it for removal.

An easy campfire dessert treat:





The process:

Cut the top off the orange – about 1/4 way down. (adults should to this)

Let the kids use sturdy soup spoons to scoop out the inside of the orange – careful not to rip or puncture the orange peel

** This will be messy, but it is a fun part of the activity for the kids – so be ready with paper towels and wet wipes.



While the kids are scooping out the oranges – mix the brownie mix, per pkg. directions*



Let the kids fill their own oranges – approx. 2/3 full



Place orange cap back on top and, while keeping orange upright, wrap orange in heavy-duty foil (as shown). *a couple layers works best. And the “curly-cue” top serves as an easy way to pull oranges from hot coals



Place finished wraps in a bed of coals, (not on flaming campfire), and cover until it is a mound of hot coals with just the “curly-cue” sticking out.



Approx. cooking time is 20 – 25 minutes, but this is variable depending on size of oranges and quality of hot coals – so check after 20 minutes to see if done.



Remove from coals and let sit a few minutes for the foil to cool to touch – then let the kids unwrap their own orange-baked brownies – and dig in! ps. Have a camera ready.
