My favorite camping treat is the more-than-slightly-sick-and-sadistic FOO FOOs and Peep Sacrifice!
It's too early in the season to make them now because your Easter Peeps need to be good and stale--better to buy them when they go on sale and try this at Beltane or Midsummer:
Take a stale Foo-Foo (c'mon--you know what I mean! As in "Little Bunny Foo-Foo, running thru the forest, picking up the field mice and bashing them in the head") or Peep. Shove a sharp stick or toasting fork up it's ass. Roast slowly over an open campfire, ignoring the screams, until the sugar on the outside melts to yummy caramel. Let it cool briefly--the caramel will turn crunchy. Consume mass quantities--but for the love of gods don't touch it while it's molten. One drunken Beltane a friend of mine gestured wildly with his toasting fork and his molten Peep flew off the stick, across the campfire and smack on the sunburned bald head of another friend who screamed hideously--we had to pour cold beer on his head but he still got a nasty blister.
In this spirit--here's a great video: PEEP WARS!
