Notes

Prepare Roasting Sticks Properly: Ensure that the roasting sticks are clean and free from any residue before using them to make the campfire eclairs. Wrapping the ends with aluminum foil not only protects them from burning but also makes them easier to clean after use. Additionally, choose roasting sticks that are long enough to hold the crescent rolls securely over the fire without risking burns.
Seal Crescent Rolls Well: When wrapping the crescent rolls around the roasting sticks, make sure to press the seams together firmly to prevent any filling from leaking out during cooking. A thorough seal ensures that the eclairs cook evenly and retain their shape while rotating over the hot coals. Check for any holes or gaps, and seal them tightly before cooking.
Control Cooking Temperature: Rotate the eclairs slowly over hot coals rather than directly over flames to prevent them from burning. The gentle heat from the coals allows the crescent rolls to cook evenly and develop a golden brown color. Keep a close eye on the eclairs as they cook, rotating them regularly to ensure even browning on all sides. Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly before filling them with pudding and frosting to prevent the filling from melting excessively.
