CAMPING - CAMPFIRE GRUB - OH FUDGE!
This recipe was fired up when Tom and I were stranded without anything sweet in sight. It's very tasty, takes only a few minutes to prepare and is foolproof.
Before heading out on your camping trip, seal up a bit of cocoa in a bag. Bring along a large bag of powdered sugar as well.
Take 1 stick of butter and melt over campfire in thick skillet. Be careful that butter (or margarine) doesn't scorch.
Quickly add 1/2 cup of powdered cocoa and 1/2 bag of powdered sugar and 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
If mix is too runny, add a bit more powdered sugar. If unworkable, add a few tablespoons of milk (made from powdered milk) and return briefly to the campfire until workable.
Fudge hardens swiftly so pour into buttered pan that has a two-inch lip. Slice shortly after fudge hardens. I would imagine that Hershey candy bars would substitute nicely for the cocoa.
Over time we have discovered that this recipe works better in cooler temperatures than during warmer weather.
