If your tired of smores but still crave a fireside treat while camping, I may have the solution for you.  On a recent trip, I was introduced to mountain eclairs.   First you need to widdle the bark off of a fairly substantial stick.  The diameter of the stick determines the size of the pastry cavity.  Once your stick is smooth, go ahead and heat it over the campfire being sure not to catch it on fire.  Then wrap some Pillsbury croissant dough around the stick to form a tube.  It is important that the stick is hot so the dough cooks from the inside as well.  be sure to keep rotating you stick over the fire to make sure the pastry cooks evenly.  When the pastry has come to a golden brown, gently slide it off you stick.  Now you are ready to fill it.  I have seen pudding and frosting used, but really almost any sweat will do.
