Instructions

Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar blend that will coat the rollups.
Assemble Rollups: Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles. Carefully wrap each piece around a clean skewer, ensuring it is evenly covered without tearing the dough.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Roll each skewered crescent dough generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture, covering all exposed dough surfaces to add a sweet and spicy crust.
Cook over Campfire: Hold or place the skewers over an open campfire, cooking for about 5 minutes. Rotate the rollups frequently to achieve an even golden-brown crispness while ensuring the dough is fully cooked inside.
Optional Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, mix 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons water to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rollups just before serving.

Notes

Ensure the campfire has medium heat to avoid burning the dough before it cooks through.
Use metal or treated wooden skewers safe for cooking.
Feel free to experiment by adding cream cheese or fruit preserves inside the crescent roll before wrapping.
For a crispier texture, allow the rollups to cool slightly after cooking.
The optional glaze adds sweetness but can be omitted for a lighter dessert.
