Campfire Cinnamon Roll Ups On A Stick

Campfire cinnamon roll ups on a stick are an easy roasted dessert made by wrapping breadstick dough around roasting sticks, then browning it over open flames. Brushed with cinnamon butter and finished with a quick powdered-sugar glaze, they come out golden and ready to eat right off the stick.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough and cinnamon butter
  • 1 can (15 oz) refrigerated breadstick dough (or biscuit dough)
  • 0.25 cup butter melted
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar
  • 1 roasting sticks for campfire roasting
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Method
 

Wrap the dough
  1. Separate the refrigerated breadstick dough into individual pieces.
  2. Wrap each piece around the end of a roasting stick in a spiral pattern, leaving no large gaps.
  3. Brush the dough all over with melted butter.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the buttered dough so it clings in an even layer.
Roast over the fire
  1. Hold the stick over campfire flames and rotate constantly for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Slide the roll up off the stick and let it cool for 2 minutes.
Glaze and serve
  1. Mix powdered sugar and milk for the glaze until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm roll ups right before serving so it sets lightly but stays creamy.

Notes

For the best browning, keep the roll ups at a steady height above the flames and rotate continuously so the sugar doesn’t burn. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm briefly before glazing (glaze right after reheating if you can). Freezing isn’t recommended because the dough texture softens after thawing. Dietary swap: use a dairy-free butter and milk alternative in both the butter brush and glaze for a lactose-free version.
