Campfire Orange Brownies Video
These brownies are a campfire treat that the kids will love. They won’t believe they were baked in oranges.
The video shows the concept, but … it does not show that you should double-wrap the orange, and, make the second wrap end with a “curly cue” or twisted hook on top (as in the photo below). This shows you which is the top of the orange, (don’t want to put it in the coals upside-down), and provides an easy way to grab it for removal.

The process:
- Cut the top off the orange – about 1/4 way down. (adults should do this)
- Let the kids use sturdy soup spoons to scoop out the inside of the orange – careful not to rip or puncture the orange peel
- ** This will be messy, but it is a fun part of the activity for the kids – so be ready with paper towels and wet wipes.
- While the kids are scooping out the oranges – mix the brownie mix, per pkg. directions*
- Let the kids fill their own oranges – approx. 2/3 full
- Place the orange cap back on top and, while keeping the orange upright, wrap the orange in heavy-duty foil (as shown). *a couple of layers work best. And the “curly-cue” top serves as an easy way to pull oranges from hot coals
An easy campfire dessert treat:
- Place finished wraps in a bed of coals, (not on a flaming campfire), and cover until it is a mound of hot coals with just the “curly-cue” sticking out.
- Approx. cooking time is 25 – 35 minutes, but this is variable depending on the size of the oranges and the quality of the hot coals – so check after 20 minutes to see if done.
- Remove from coals and let sit a few minutes for the foil to cool to touch – then let the kids unwrap their own orange-baked brownies – and dig in!
ps. Have a camera ready.
