Desserts
Choco-Cherry Pie
6 individual graham cracker crusts
30 Hershey Kisses (your choice of white, chocolate, almond)
1 can cherry pie filling
Whipped topping (optional)
Put three Kisses in
each crust, fill with 2-3 Tbsp. of pie filling, top with two additional
kisses. Place on grill or in oven until Kisses melt. Cool and top with
whipped topping if desired.
Cracker Jacks
Saltine crackers
Caramels
Warm caramel as you
would marshmallows. When heated, slide between two crackers and gently
smooch. Enjoy!
Dough Boys
Refrigerated biscuit dough
Filling: peanut butter & jelly, honey or pie filling
Fold dough around
the end of a blunt stick. The stick should be about as thick as your thumb.
Cook the dough to a light golden grown. If cooked properly, the dough
should come right off without sticking. Don't cook too fast! Fill the
dough boy with your favorite filling and then eat 'em up!

How
to Judge the Temperature of Coals
 You
can estimate how hot the coals are with the "palm test."
Hold your hand, palm side down, above the coals at the distance
the food will be cooking. Start counting seconds - "one thousand
one, one thousand two." If you need to remove your hand after
two seconds, the coals are hot; three seconds, medium-hot;
four seconds, medium; five or six seconds, slow.
